In August, Australian customs officers seized a record 95kg of cocaine from cruise ship the Sea Princess in Sydney, following a joint operation. Cruise ships increasingly provide a good target for smugglers as they cross international and national jurisdictions visiting many different ports. We find out what’s being done to contain this trend.
We also round up some of the biggest and loudest music cruises, take a look at the EU-funded CyClaDes initiative, which is trying to make ship design more human-oriented, and shine a spotlight on China’s shipbreaking sector, which is feeling the squeeze from depressed steel prices.
Plus, we examine the controversy behind the Netherlands’ port subsidies and ask whether ship diversions could be avoided with on-board telemedical assistance.
