  • Shipping industry gears up to ride another storm
    THE year ahead for shipping is bleak but most industry players have seen it all before and are prepared to deal with the downturn while staying hopeful that a recovery will come by year-end.
  • Baltic Dry Index faces its seventh straight drop
    The Baltic Dry Index, a measure of shipping costs for commodities, fell for a seventh consecutive session on weaker demand for steel and iron ore.
  • Cost to ship crude from the Caribbean falls
    The cost to transport crude oil from the Caribbean on Aframax tankers may fall after little change last week, amid weak demand from refiners, a broker said.
  • Persian Gulf supertanker rate may drop
  • No change in Suez Canal transit fees this year
  • Challenging times for new-vessel funding
  • Fog hampers shipping along central US Gulf Coast
  • Cut in Port Klang free storage days pushed to July 1
  • Nordic buys Suezmax tanker for US$56.7m to expand fleet
Strait Talk
  • Waste not, want not
    THE connection between shipping and recycling waste paper may not be immediately apparent, but there certainly is one. Until recently, paper recycling was a booming business in Britain. European Union rules dictate that local councils must recycle more household waste, particularly paper.
