Reports suggest that the Greek Government is attempting to persuade shipowners and shipping insurance companies based in London to move their EU headquarters to Greece, as the UK gears up for Brexit. We investigate the potential implications.

We also take a closer look at the One Sea project, an ambitious plan to develop the world’s first autonomous shipping system in the Baltic Sea, find out whether an initiative to grant cargo owners more control over their contribution to marine emissions will have the desired impact, and consider what can be done to improve safety on-board ships as vessels become increasingly complex.

Finally, we investigate the problem of cargo theft, which costs the marine industry billions of dollars every year, and take a closer look at initiatives to incentivise more participation from women in the maritime sector and to encourage greater workforce diversity.

Next issue preview

In July, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee pushed back the compliance date of new ballast water management requirements for existing vessels. We look into the reasons behind the delay, and what effect this postponement could have on shipowners.

We also examine the potential impact of blockchain in the maritime industry, find out more about an industry collaboration to create an open source digital platform for the development of new ships, and speak to the team behind Babbler, a digital seal for shipping containers that can be used to monitor shipments via an online app.

Finally, we take a closer look at port initiatives to establish boundaries to reduce their impact on marine life, and investigate the dangers of pollution levels on cruise ships and ask what the industry is doing to combat the problem.
