You can read this weeks Chronicle Herald Column Here.

This week I talk about changes to The Alliance’s AL6 service, and  ZIM’s ZCA Service. I also offer a bit of a followup on Last weeks Column where i talk about labour issues aboard a vessel currently operating on a Coasting trade waiver, and discuss the importance of Port state control.

Also in Wednesdays paper – Chester based Hawboldt has a contract to provide deck and anchor winches for the new Supply ships built by SeaSpan in Vancouver.  Horizon Maritime is in Merger talks with Nordic American Offshore.
