Collisions between ships, or ships and oil platforms, can be severe. In an effort to limit their occurrence BMT ARGOSS and BMT Surveys are using a simulator to recreate collisions in order to help with incident investigation and improve seafarer training. We find out more about the project and what it hopes to achieve.
We also take a look at a trans-Caspian multimodal transport route proposed by China, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, find out how a rehabilitation of foreign relations between the US and Cuba is opening up a new market for cruise operators, and explore new applications of 3D printing in shipbuilding. Moreover, we ask why the shipping industry needs to adapt to technological advances to stay ahead of hackers and prevent cyber crime, and hear about the major IT trends that are likely to affect the industry in the years to come.

Next issue preview
The UK government recently published the recommendations of a six-month joint Maritime Growth Study by government and industry, designed to keep the UK competitive in an international marketplace. We ask the report authors what action needs to be taken now to support the future
We also investigate Australia’s proposed new shipping legislation, which caused controversy after reports emerged claiming it could cause a loss of 93% of seafaring jobs in the country, find out what is causing the recent decline in South Korea’s traditionally strong shipbuilding industry, and take a look inside the medical facilities onboard the world’s biggest cruise ships. Plus, we explore the latest in wind power for ship propulsion, including a number of technologies shortlisted for this year’s Ship Efficiency Awards, and examine the ‘transformative technologies’ in ship design and ocean use highlighted by the Global Marine Trends 2030 report.
