  • China Cosco wins target rise in rates
    China Cosco Holdings Co, China's largest container line, said it has won a targeted increase in transpacific rates, bolstering industrywide efforts to end losses.
  • Breaking new ground in marine technology
    IT has been a tradition and a fact too, that new technologies or innovations always start onshore before they go offshore. Baby boomers born between 1940s and 50s witnessed the boom in technology and invention, which easily surpassed all inventions in the past five centuries. Communications technologies transformed from cable, telex, fax, to e-mail, from land line phone to mobile phone. Power generation changed from coal and steam to modern nuclear technology.
  • UK to double rig inspections in North Sea after BP oil leak
    British officials said on Tuesday they would double the number of inspections carried out at oil rigs in the North Sea following the disastrous leak at a BP-operated installation in the Gulf of Mexico.
Strait Talk
  • Young people and the sea
    A NEW Japanese study on the future global supply and demand of seafarers predicts that by 2020 the shipping industry will need to recruit an additional 32,153 officers and 46,881 ratings above 2010 figures to meet growing needs.
