Υψηλά πέντε ετών για τους ναύλους των dry Panamaxes

Επίπεδα ρεκόρ φαίνεται ότι άγγιξαν οι ναύλοι για τα dry bulk carriers, κατηγορίας Panamax. Σύμφωνα με την νορβηγική Montel, η οποία αποτελεί πάροχο πληροφοριών και αναλύσεων, οι ναύλοι στα dry Panamaxes σημείωσαν αύξηση της τάξης του 18% τον περασμένο μήνα, φτάνοντας στα υψηλότερα επίπεδα των τελευταίων πέντε ετών.

Η αύξηση στους ναύλους οφείλεται στην αυξημένη διακίνηση άνθρακα μέσω Ειρηνικού από Αυστραλία, Ν. Αφρική, ΗΠΑ και Ινδονησία με προορισμό την Κίνα και την Ινδία.

UK Club: LED lighting can prevent cargo hold fires

The UK P&I Club issued a Loss prevention bulletin in a bid to draw attention to cargo fire risks associated with the lighting system in a vessel hold. The Club was notified by New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) of such incident and advised that alternative LED lighting should be considered, to reduce the potential risk to ship safety posed by lights that radiate high levels of heat.

TAIC adds navigation in pilotage waters to Watchlist

In a bid to address errors in ship navigation in pilotage waters, New Zealand’s Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) has created a new Watchlist item to focus the attention of regulators, operators, and training providers on solving the problem.

Pilotage waters are those areas where (with a few exemptions) a ship must use the services of a maritime pilot -an experienced and highly skilled sailor with detailed knowledge of a particular waterway.

The Commission has investigated a...
