Shipping News
  • Reality check for greener shipping
    IT is the most economical and environmentally sound method of moving goods around the world, an essential mode of transport that feeds and fuels the world. So how come the shipping industry has suddenly been forced on the defensive, with ship operators struggling to keep the environmental debate sensible, as this December's Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen approaches?
Strait Talk
  • Slow steaming back to the future
    IT'S tough being a shipping journalist at this time of the year. All sorts of organisations insist on your presence at presentations and receptions to make sure their message is not forgotten when the industry's hacks fill up the column centimetres. Invariably these events are held in very up-market venues and the provision of sustenance and beverages is rarely found wanting - so hard.
