The Danish International Register
The issues of the ecological quality of human work in the oceans, in connection with the information exchange between East and West, North and South, and the need to treat the oceans as the common heritage of all mankind, will be the subject of serious discussion and, hopefully, the basis for further business contacts and scientific and technical cooperation.
According to the newspaper Lloyd's List, the birth of the Danish International Registry (DMR) has improved the situation of Danish shipowners. By transferring a ship to a new registry, you can "save" 40% on seafarers' wages. You can also reduce the number of crew. Unlike the Norwegian International Registry, only Danish shipowners can take advantage of the "advantages" of the DMR. As a result, there are now over 500 vessels under its flag with a total deadweight of 7 million tons (a year ago — 6 million tons).
It is believed that in this regard, Danish shipowners have increased the number of orders for new vessels (in 1989 — 90 vessels totaling 17 billion crowns).
And although 60% of these orders are sold at domestic shipyards, the situation in Danish shipbuilding is far from brilliant. So, since 1975, the number of workers in the industry has decreased by 60%. At the end of 1988, there were only 6.3 thousand of them.
Krabi is the new port of Thailand
The Thai government has decided to build a new deep-water seaport in Krabi on the west coast of the Malacca Peninsula. It is expected that in the future it will become the largest Thai port on the Andaman Sea.
The convenient location of the port will make it possible to service vessels with a displacement of up to 200 thousand tons operating flights between Europe and the Far East. A free trade zone will be created around the port. In addition, the pipeline will connect Krabi with the port of Nakhon Si Hammarat, located in the eastern part of the peninsula on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand.
The prospect of Thailand implementing such a major project has caused concern in Singapore's business community, as the number of ships serviced at the Singapore port will decrease, which will inevitably lead to a drop in profits.
Le Havre's cargo turnover is growing
According to the port authorities of Le Havre, the cargo turnover of this port increased by 9% compared to the previous year and amounted to 17.4 million tons against 15.9 million tons. This result was achieved due to an increase in transshipment of coal (almost 1.5 times), grain (2 times). The growth rate of container recycling is higher than ever (37.1%). It is assumed that in the subsequent period, container turnover will increase even more significantly.
Construction of a dry dock in Bahrain
The Arab shipbuilding and ship repair company ASHRI, whose activities are controlled by the governments of Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has decided to build a dry dock in Manama (Bahrain) designed for ships with a deadweight of up to 200 thousand tons. Currently, three dry docks are already operating on the coast of the Persian Gulf in Dubai. (United Arab Emirates), the largest of which is capable of receiving vessels with a displacement of up to 1 million tons. However, due to the revival of merchant shipping in the Gulf after the cessation of the military conflict between Iran and Iraq, as well as lower insurance premiums for ships sailing in the region, existing financial capacities have become insufficient. Therefore, the commissioning of the new dock promises to bring the company high profits.
