  • Minoan Mulls Ordering Two High Speed Vessels
    Crete’s largest shipping company Minoan Lines is considering ordering two additional high speed vessels. As it took delivery of its second high-speed ferry, the $96-million Ikarus, the company said that it intended to pursue a strategy of upgrading its fleet with new high-speed vessels.
    Minoan Lines, which plans to list on the Athens stock exchange early next year, said it was considering ordering two high-speed ferries to replace aging vessels on its Piraeus-Irakleon (Crete) service. It hoped the orders could be placed with Greek shipyards in order to help relieve unemployment in the sector.
    The Ikarus, which can carry 1,500 passengers and 1,000 cars or 150 lorries, has attained 30 knots in sea tests. It will go into service between the Italian port of Ancona and the Greek ports of Patras and Igoumenitsa effective December 21.Minoan Lines has invested or plans to invest a total of $482 million in new and modernized vessels, it said.
  • Jinhui Units To Buy Dry-Bulk Carriers
    Jinhui Holdings Co. Ltd. said two of its indirect subsidiaries would buy two Panamax size vessels from an independent third party for about $49.6 million. The 50.9 percent owned subsidiaries - Jinli Marine Inc. and Jinfeng Marine Inc. - would buy two dry-bulk carriers of deadweight tonnage 73,300 metric tons each.
    "The directors of the company see that it may be an opportune moment to further expand its fleet at the trough of the dry bulk cycle and believe that the acquisition is a step in pursuing its strategic move to further shift the Jinhui Shipping Group’s fleet from handysizes to Panamaxes and growing synergy between its shipping and coke business," Jinhui said.
  • Global Industries Units Gets Offshore Contract
    Global Industries Ltd. said that one of its subsidiaries was awarded three offshore contracts valued at about $160 million. The subsidiary, CCC Fabricaciones Y Construcciones SA de CV, is jointly owned by Global Industries and Grupo Consorcio de Fabricaciones Y Construcciones SA de CV. Under the terms of the contracts, CCC is to perform a range of offshore construction and support activities for Pemex Exploracion y Produccion in the Bay of Campeche. The first of the contracts is scheduled to begin before the end of the year.
    Under the terms of the first two contracts, which are expected to take about 12 months to complete, CCC will support the development of Pemex’s Cantarell Field. Under the third contract, CCC is to design, procure, lay, bury and test 30 kilometers of 36-inch diameter pipeline linking the Akal J Complex to Pemex’s floating storage offloading unit FSO-1.
  • Chilean Shipwner Selects MMS Software

The value of the initial contract, which includes software, hardware, and services, is approximately $300,000.
  • Chilean Navy Approves Submarines Purchase
    Chile’s navy has approved the purchase of two 1,600-ton "Scorpene" submarines from a Spanish-French consortium. The navy’s admiralty have approved plans to purchase the submarines from the French DCN and the Spanish Bazan shipbuilders, who had beat bids submitted by competitors from Britain, Germany and Sweden.
    A navy spokesman in Valparaiso Chile currently owns two German U-209 submarines from the 1980s and two British Oberon submarines from the 1970s. The Chilean navy’s new commander in chief, Adm. Jorge Arancibia, said last month that the new submarines would cost around $200 million each and would be delivered early next decade.
