  • Tankers facing delays at Chinese ports
    Supertankers that ship two million barrel cargoes of crude oil face delays at Chinese ports, potentially lowering vessel supply in the Persian Gulf, said Per Mansson, managing director of Nor Ocean Stockholm AB.
  • Sea Asia 2011 back with regional heavyweights
    As the centre of power gradually moves eastwards in the shipping world, industry players will be grappling with the region's role at next year's Sea Asia event in April.
