We also learn more about a research project to address safety and efficiency in Arctic ship operations, take a closer look at the most important shipping chokepoints and analyse how they contribute to the global oil supply, and consider the fate of the proposed 107km Seine-Nord Europe Canal, which could link Paris to Rotterdam and Antwerp.
Finally, we find out how the Global Industry Alliance is helping break down barriers blocking the industry from moving towards a low-carbon era, and hear from MAATS Tech about why a changing energy landscape could be the catalyst for a new generation of ships.

Maritime Chokepoints
Earlier this year, two reports analysing the world’s main shipping routes found that international trade is increasingly reliant on a handful of transit chokepoints, the disruption of which could easily throw the global food supply and the energy market into disarray. Eva Grey reports.

Shipbreaking is a lucrative industry and one that is almost solely carried out in countries like Bangladesh and India. But, after concerns around the ethics of selling a scuppered ship to the lowest bidder, the EU is considering offering a financial incentive to ensure more ships are recycled at EU-approved facilities. We find out whether it will work.
We learn more about GloFouling Partnerships, which has been set up to tackle the issue of transferring aquatic species, consider whether composite materials could replace steel in the construction of lightweight ships, and look at what ports can do to prepare for the impact of global warming.
Finally, we ask how shipping companies can best defend their vessels against cyber threats, and find out more about the risk posed by unsecured communications links in the maritime sector from Applied Risk.
