  • DCNS' ambitions take wing
    FRENCH naval defence systems provider DCNS is building on its successful partnership with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and ST Marine in the Formidable-class frigate programme to take its ambitions in the region forward.
  • Navigating through global downturn
    IN recent years, shipping's sphere of influence has been moving inexorably eastwards. Asia has become the dominant force in world seaborne trade, affecting both imports and exports, and Asian interests now control more than half of the global merchant fleet.
  • Rig count to bottom out by Q2: report
    Oil and natural gas rigs operating in the United States, which dropped to a five-year low of 1,085 last week, could bottom out at 800 to 1,000 as soon as the second quarter, according to a Pritchard Capital Partners report on Monday.
Strait Talk
  • Silver lining for marine insurers
    I AM writing this from a hotel room overlooking the very busy Middle Eastern bunkering anchorage at Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. A well-informed source tells me that there has been no let-up in the number of ship calls and that a 12-day maximum stay period has been imposed. The restriction is designed to stop owners using the anchorage to lay up their ships.
