Infrastructure developments look promising
Throughout 2020, various new and existing LNG bunkering facilities globally are being developed to further boost the viability of using LNG as a marine fuel.
In January, LNG solutions firm KC LNG and cryogenic equipment supplier Cryostar clinched a contract to build a LNG ship bunkering and truck fuelling facility in Belgium’s Antwerp port.
In March, Lithuania’s port of Klaipeda conducted its first LNG bunkering with the supply of the clean fuel to a cement carrier from the Malkos Bay Terminal. LNG bunker supplier Cryo Shipping said it will charter a LNG bunker tanker to promote Klaipeda as a key LNG bunker port in the Baltic and introduce ship-to-ship bunkering to the market.
Tony Nash, Derek Dickins and Themis Vokos taken in the very early days of Seatrade A look back over the half-century history of Seatrade and this its flagship magazine, first launched by company founder Themis Vokos 50 years ago.
The vision of Seatrade founder Themistocles Vokos was to create a news medium that would focus on the business of maritime transport, appealing as much to the owners of cargo and the financial and trading communities as to traditional shipping – an ‘Economist’ for the sea transportation industry.
At a time when ideas about the globalisation of trade were starting to be recognised, the new magazine was intended to cover the patterns of global seaborne trade, as much as the operational and technical sides of the industry. Seatrade’s first editor Robert Hawkins was hired from the Financial Times and a network of correspondents was set up covering Australia, South America and the Middle East, as well as the more established shipping centres in
Bureau Veritas, 3DMF, and POSH form consortium to drive maritime additive manufacturing innovation in Singapore
Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification services, together with 3D Metal Forge (3DMF) and PACC Offshore Services Holdings Ltd (POSH) have been awarded co-funding for their joint industry project (JIP) on additive manufacturing for the maritime sector.
This project is one of 11 digitalisation projects awarded Maritime Innovation and Technology (MINT) co-funding by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). MPA had earlier worked with the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC) and the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) to support a market feasibility study on Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, for commonly ordered marine parts.
