In November, the Port Authority of Jamaica announced plans to fast-track the upgrade of its major cruise shipping towns to attract more business to the island. The modernisation projects include a $286m transformation at the resort town of Ocho Rios. We take a closer look at the plans.
We also consider the future of hydrogen fuel cells as a means of eco-friendly ship propulsion, delve deeper into the potential of LNG as more ship owners make the switch, and profile the city of Liverpool’s new container terminal.
Finally, we learn more about an appeal from six Arctic indigenous leaders to the International Maritime Organization about the dangers Arctic shipping pose to their livelihoods and communities, and speak to Ghost Fishing about the true cost of cleaning up shipwrecks.
