  • Chinese yards urged not to compromise on standards
    CHINESE yards have worked hard to build their reputation for quality and this must not be eroded by a deterioration in standards during the current shipping boom.
  • Baltic Dry Index falls a second straight day on fewer cargoes
    The Baltic Dry Index (BDI), a measure of shipping costs for commodities, fell for a second day on reduced cargoes such as grains hauled by so-called panamax vessels.
  • Iran plans to cut oil tankers, clear stored crude
    Iran, Opec's second-largest oil producer, said it plans to cut the number of tankers idling in the Persian Gulf and clear a backlog of crude stored on them by the end of this month.
  • French oil port strikers call for more action, govt under pressure
Strait Talk
  • Opposing views emerge on liner shipping
    IT has been an interesting week or two on the liner shipping scene. Owners and the shippers have expressed predictably opposing views on regulation, which suggests there will be a lot more heated debate before the remnants of the conference system finally disappear. There has also been a very off-the-wall report that has challenged much of the standard thinking on liner shipping economics.
