  • PSA pulls out of Hazira terminal project
    PSA International has pulled out of a joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell to build a cargo container terminal in the Indian state of Gujarat.
  • Drybulks face sinking asset fallout

    CHALLENGES abound for the operator of any mass rapid transit system, but experience and a good working relationship with the regulatory authority should overcome them and ensure a successful project.
