Court denies appeal of Carnival dumping decision Bahamas resident, three Alaskans asked 11th Court of Appeals to reconsider federal judge's ruling for $20m fine against cruise major. LNG carrier prototype Saga Dawn is waiting at the altar The first of a new type of LNG carrier is ready to trade but still needs ink on the bottom line Shoei Kisen sells ultramax with time charter back Shoei Kisen is said to have sold a three-year-old ultramax in a deal including a time charter back to the Japanese company. Several brokers in the UK and the US report that Shoei Kisen sold the 61,200-dwt Ultra Innovation (built 2016) to Greek interests for a firm $24m, in a deal that includes a one-year charter back at an index-linked rate. The ship is operated by Denmark-headquartered Ultrabul Vale's Brucutu mine set to reopen Eduardo Bartolomeo-led iron-ore giant on Wednesday received court permission to recommence operations at the iron-ore mine within 72 hours.

According to Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Cox sold the first block of 15,000 shares Tuesday for $38.05 and the second Wednesday for $37.82. Shares of the Hawaiian Jones Act player closed Tuesday at $38.29 and Wednesday at $37.59. Cox still owns more than 250,000 shares in the company. The move comes Carnival earns less profit on higher costs Arnold Donald-led cruise major beats estimates but lowers outlook on Cuba ban, causing shares to fall.

Shipping does not predict another round of 'Tanker Wars' The last month has seen more ships attacked than in all of 1981 - when the Iran-Iraq War first spilled over into the nearby Middle East Gulf, kicking off the so-called "Tanker Wars" that raged alongside the conflict for most of the decade.
