THE first shipment of valves, built in South Korea by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, has arrived for the Panama Canal Expansion Programme

THE Three Gorges ship locks recorded a year-on-year decrease of 15.37 per cent in 2012 in its cargo throughput to 91.49 million tonnes

SEVEN months since the opening of the expanded Panama Canal, the narrow width of the canal continues to pose a serious problem for ships of up to 13,000 TEU, as well for the tugs that guide them through the expanded third lane.
