Shipping News
  • Offshore oil and gas industry cooling off
    The offshore oil and gas market has turned from white-hot to warm over the past quarter. And as conditions get tougher, Chinese yards - many of them greenfield projects or still in the blueprint stage - will have more difficulty accessing capital, says Lloyd's Register's director for oil and gas Iain Light.
  • Asian shipyards seeking security of surety bonds
    WITH the financial crisis now reaching Asia, companies are bracing for the worst by shoring up their balance sheets and freeing up access to capital. The shipbuilding industry in Singapore and around Asia is not immune, as companies prepare for tougher times.
  • Who's to pay for smooth sailing?
    It's a big weekend for sailing, with the Melges 24 North Americans, Soling National Championships, IRC big-boat East Coast Championship and a handful of other regattas drawing racers big and small by the hundreds to the Chesapeake.
  • DryShips Q3 profit up 71% on larger fleet, higher rates
Strait Talk
  • Training is still crucial to produce qualified seafarers
    LAST week this column looked at Singapore Maritime Academy's unique and highly successful Maritime Experiential Learning (MEL). I wonder how many readers, especially those who have seen downturns before and mass layoffs in the shipping industry, thought that now is the wrong time to be encouraging young people to look at a career in the shipping industry.
Motoring
  • Technical issues, bad press hurt CNG car sales
    SLUGGISH and sometimes jerky performance seem to have driven a wedge between the Singapore car buyer and compressed natural gas (CNG), with the love affair set for a possibly unhappy ending.
