When it comes to assessing the effectiveness of ballast water treatment systems, lines have been drawn between most probable number (MPN) and vital staining. The US Coast Guard controversially rejected the use of MPN, a move which could severely restrict the use of ultraviolet ballast water management systems. We check in with both sides of the debate and investigate the possible fallout for the market.
We also catch up with industry efforts to speed up the use of LNG as a marine fuel and take a look inside Royal Caribbean’s new cruise terminal in Miami.
Plus, we find out how Nigeria is ramping up regulation and enforcement to tackle corruption at its ports and review the case of the 35 seafarers who have been detained in Chennai since October 2013 following a controversial arrest.
