  • Great Barrier Reef damaged: officials

  • Asia's vital role in world shipping
    WE are in the modern age of IT. Information and some forms of monetary transactions can be transmitted across international borders, to different countries in the world, in the blink of an eye. But the movement of physical goods such as oil, gas, ore, cars and other products are not so easily mobilised from one place to another. About 90 per cent of world trade is carried by shipping and the scale of Asian shipping in the international arena is enormous.
