Shipping News
  • Ship shortage hurts soya export
    India has agreed to new season soya meal exports of nearly two million tonnes, mainly to Asia, but has managed to send out only a third due to shipping shortages that have pushed up freight rates, traders said.
  • Cruise ships threaten Antarctic's environment
    A cruise ship takes on water in the Antarctic and three more go quickly to the rescue - a blessing for the survivors, to be sure. But it is also an indication of a regional tourism boom that critics say threatens Antarctica's delicate environment and puts passengers at grave risk.
  • US$9m fine urged for dumping oil
    A Greek shipping company should be fined at least US$9 million and banned from the US for five years for dumping waste oil and trying to cover up its misconduct, federal prosecutors said.
  • W Australia plans single port authority
  • Keppel Corp holds first of annual series of safety conventions
Strait Talk
  • Classification societies going green
    BY coincidence the French classification society Bureau Veritas (BV) and its German counterpart Germanischer Lloyd (GL) habitually hold their main press events in London a few days apart in November. And this year was no exception and the gatherings were held at the same venue, Trinity House on Tower Hill, the historic headquarters of the organisation that runs Britain's lighthouses and aids to navigation.
