VLCC NEW DIAMOND and all shipping rescued from major disaster - Maritime Bulletin
There was no major disaster, to the great relief of all the shipping industry. I can’t imagine the scale of hysterical media respond in case fire spreads to cargo tanks. In fact, hysterical media respond to any maritime accident, followed by even slightest oil leak, is much more threat to shipping and economy, than any disaster, even major one. Governments worldwide already made a sport of it – anything happens, any accident, and Govs immediately (and happily) respond with bans, restrictions, new regulations and so-called “laws”. NZ suspended cattle export after GULF LIVESTOCK tragedy, as if cattle was the cause of ship’s sinking. Beirut and WAKAISHO disasters resulted in amazingly stupid and ignorant mainstream media campaign, aimed at FOCs....Posted On:11-Sep-2020
