Discussion group merger delayed The US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has voted to delay the permanent integration of the two major transpacific discussion agreements. The Transpacific Stabilisation Agreement (TSA), which covers eastbound trade, filed a request in late 2012 to absorb the Westbound Stabilisation Agreement Upside seen from crude slump Shipping executives and analysts contend that the sharp drop in crude pricing will improve prospects for tankers and other vessel classes. Morgan Stanley analyst Fotis Giannakoulis noted on 19 November that public tanker stock pricing is lower despite an increase in charter rates. "It seems that Shell launches Naturelle range of EALs Shell Marine Products has launched its new range of environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs), which includes Shell Naturelle S4 Stern Tube Fluid 100. Shell's range of EAL products enables ships entering US waters to comply with the regulations revised in 2013 for a Vessel General Permit (VGP). Locals trained to tackle Nigeria waterway deaths A lack of investment in river and marine transport infrastructure was responsible for the loss of 296 lives on Nigeria's waterways last year, the Nigerian Inland Waterway Authority (NIWA) said last weekend. Bad visibility and poor communication were also to blame for numerous fatal boat accidents, Oil thieves' vessels seized, refineries burned The Nigerian Navy destroyed two illegal oil refineries at Opobo Creek in Rivers State and also set two boats laden with stolen crude oil on fire. The refineries were said to have been able to produce N8M ($46,000) per day of automotive gas oil (AGO) and kerosene when they were raided on 13 November. Terminal plans change at Richards Bay South African freight operator Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) has abandoned plans to build its own coal terminal at Richards Bay. The plan was announced two years ago but has been overtaken by expansion of Grindrod's Navitrade coal terminal. Navitrade's capacity of 3.5M tonnes is being expanded in BW LPG profit soars but falls short of expectations BW LPG, the Singapore based gas carrier company that is listed in Oslo, has posted a sharp increase in 3Q14 and nine month profits, but the latest quarter fell short of analyst expectations. Group net profit in 3Q14 rose to $87.5M from $68.9M in the same period last year, while revenues increased SLPA orders dredger from IHC Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) has ordered a 4,000 cubic metre capacity Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger from IHC Holland BV, its third from the Dutch builder. An SLPA statement said the new dredger will belong to the latest series of IHC hopper dredger 'Beagle 4' family with a diesel electric Costa Concordia damage claims dismissed as 'unrealistic' Costa Crociere has been labelled as "imaginary and unrealistic" due to compensation claims totalling €220M lodged by the island of Giglio and the region of Tuscany for damage to their image caused by the Costa Concordia disaster in January 2012. The wreck of the Costa Concordia was moved from Kim Heng to benefit from incoming rigs More incoming rigs to Singapore to be warm or cold stacked may present more business opportunities for rig builders such as Kim Heng Offshore & Marine, which is feeling the heat of the industry slowdown and slow workflow. "Currently, there are some 20 idle rigs in or nearby Singapore and about 15 Vard needs to lift profitability A slowing new order momentum could delay Vard Holdings' (Vard's) return to healthy profitability that would be necessary for the Singapore-listed, offshore vessels builder's stock to recover.
