The Greek-owned merchant fleet remains a world leader in terms of value, with assets whose worth is estimated at $105.65 billion, above the combined fleets of the United Kingdom, Germany and Norway, according to data compiled by VesselsValue.com, which specializes in ocean-going ship valuations.

The figures show that the Greek fleet’s value has increased by 4.5 percent compared to last year, indicating that efforts to enlarge and modernize Greek shipping are paying off. They also reflect the fleet’s increased market shares, which are also global frontrunners.

Coming a distant second behind Greece is Japan, whose fleet is valued at $89.75 billion (up 0.7 percent from last year). China comes in third

P.S.A.

La Audiencia Nacional decidió ayer levantar la medida cautelarísima contra la adjudicación.

El concurso de transporte marítimo entre Melilla y la península vuelve a navegar viento en popa a toda vela. La Audiencia Nacional decidió ayer levantar la medida cautelarísima presentada por la Plataforma de Motril contra el proceso de adjudicación de este servicio, según informó a El Faro el viceconsejero de Turismo, Javier Mateo, quien se mostró “satisfecho, aunque cauto”.


La Audiencia considera que el mantenimiento de las líneas de Málaga y Almería “no es arbitrario, sino que se justifica porque, entre las ciudades de la península más próximas a Melilla, éstas son las más importantes en población, nivel de servicios y nudos de comunicación”.

Ferry Chronicle 2014

by Kalle Id

Welcome to the second ever issue of MaritimeMatters’ annual (if one can use that terms when the series is only on its second year) look at the status of the international ferry business. I started the 2013 issue by saying that the year was a “gap year” in the ferry business, with operators biding their time, waiting for the Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) regulations to come into effect on the Baltic Sea, North Sea and the east & west coast of North America.

Be prepared: terminals facing ever-larger ship calls cannot become complacent, says KPCT
