The rise of the super manager
Strange as it may seem today, the idea that a shipowner would ask a third party to manage their vessels was an anathema just four decades ago. In many parts of the world, shipowners viewed the management of their vessels almost as a family duty – and in many cases it was just that. The concept of using a third-party manager is relatively new and only gained traction in the 1970s... -Splash 247Posted On:30-May-2022

Several Factors Point To Shipping Being A Leading Cause Of Whale Shark Deaths
Over 80% of international trade is carried by sea. Much of what we use and consume everyday either has been or will be transported on huge vessels which plough the global ocean. The courses these container vessels take are fixed shipping routes known as marine highways, which are not unlike motorways on land.

If done “thoughtfully”, he continued, “it will do no damage to marine life.” But it hasn’t been done thoughtfully... -The ConversationPosted On:30-May-2022
