Japanese Trio to Study Ship-to-Ship LNG Bunkering in Tokyo Bay
Japanese companies Uyeno Transtech, Sumitomo Corporation and Yokohama-Kawasaki International Port Corporation have concluded a memorandum on conducting a joint study on ship-to-ship (STS) liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering in Tokyo Bay.
In hoping to turn Tokyo Bay, a gateway to Asia for ships sailing in the Pacific Ocean, into an LNG bunkering hub, the three companies will jointly study the commercial feasibility of supplying LNG-fueled vessels with LNG by using LNG bunkering vessels all the while remaining open to possible participation in such a business venture by LNG-related companies.

Expert panel appointed to drive UK maritime technology development
UK transport secretary Chris Grayling has announced the appointment of a group of experts to advise the UK government on the future of the maritime industry. The group reads like a veritable dream team of UK-based shipping, covering tankers, finance, shipping research and education, among other sectors.
This group will particularly consider the role of future technology should have on the maritime industry as Mr Grayling is an advocate for developing autonomous vessels, hybrid propulsion, artificial intelligence and augmented reality for the sector. Mr Grayling previously said autonomous vessels would improve safety at sea and have national economic benefits.Posted On:30-Mar-2018

Malta: Maritime industry has vast untapped opportunities
This feature has no pretence to be a professional economic analysis of the contribution which the Maltese maritime industry makes to Malta s gross domestic product. I hope that in the near future the Malta Maritime Forum will be able to undertake such a study which is essential to raise awareness about this industry.
Rather, what I aim to achieve instead is highlight the economic drivers which are generated by the maritime industry. But even then one has to narrow the definition of the term maritime industry because it is so vast and diverse that to make a reasonable assessment one has to segmentalise and focus. The focus here is on ships, terminals and related services such as ship repair.Posted On:30-Mar-2018
