  • Cleaning up of oil near S'pore shores continues
    [SINGAPORE] Clean-up operations continued yesterday to remove patches of treated oil from the stricken tanker Natuna Sea, sighted in Singapore's port waters and washed up on the beaches of some of the southern islands. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said in a statement that the clean-up continued around the Western, Eastern and Raffles Reserved Anchorages, and the West Keppel Fairway.

"Reclamation should be stopped," said the assistant director of FoE, Plato Yip.

  • Cometh the great hardening?
    I HAVE heard it twice in a week. First in Singapore, where I went to speak on the use of the internet in shipping , and then over lunch in London with a thoughtful 57-year-old marine broker. In my relatively short and interrupted' career I have only seen the marine insurance market harden on two occasions. The first was the great liability insurance shortage in the United States during the early to mid 1980s when people like stevedores swallowed their historic misgivings and signed up for mutual insurance. The second followed in the early 1990s on the heels of the "calls crisis" in P&I and the Lloyd's debacle. If you happen to be one of the players to take advantage of such a change in the market, the thing to remember how large a role cylicality plays in the story of insurance growth.' Not to mention diligence and ability.
