The IMO will host an inter-agency meeting on the Travelling of Migrants by Sea on 4 March.

The meeting will build on a meeting with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in December 2014 and aims to develop "potential ways forward" such as creating an incident database to assist law enforcement agencies identify, arrest, and prosecute people smugglers. A greater control over coastal zones and ports is also sought.

Participation is expected from the UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), members

La versione dell’ex comandante della nave affondata il 13 gennaio 2012: «Mi sono scusato in privato con le famiglie delle vittime. L’Isola dei Famosi? Volevo un’offerta scritta per esibirla e stracciarla»

di Marco Imarisio

«L’Isola dei famosi no. Manco a parlarne. A ballare e cantare sull’Isola dei famosi no. Almeno questo non me lo merito».


L’uomo che parla avrebbe qualche altra preoccupazione prevalente, a cominciare dai recenti 16 anni di condanna, frutto di un naufragio piuttosto celebre e dei 32 morti di quella notte, quando la Costa Concordia urtò gli scogli davanti all’Isola del Giglio. Invece pare si debba cominciare da qui. Dallo scherzo de Le Iene, la finta trattativa per una partecipazione di Francesco Schettino al

Strong equity performance – more of an issue of money flow than underlying fundamental improvement

Global equity performance has been strong over the last week. It carried over into yesterday’s trade—even though oil prices resumed their longer-term down trend as hopes from an OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) intervention faded.

From a longer-term perspective, many of the underlying issues that plagued economies—like the EU (European Union), Brazil, and more specifically Greece—haven’t been solved. Recently, the trajectory towards solving them permeated headlines.

 Que la corrupción se encuentre entre las mayores preocupaciones de los españoles, nada tiene de extraño, entre otras cosas, porque afecta directamente a su calidad de vida y al funcionamiento de las instituciones públicas.

El capitalismo salvaje, que es el que domina actualmente la mayor parte del mundo “civilizado”, recurre a la corrupción como instrumento óptimo para acumular riqueza. Las prácticas de corrupción son relativamente fáciles y lucrativas, y gozan en muchos casos de una favorable impunidad.

 

 

El sistema, consciente del potencial económico que entraña la corrupción, intenta que el ciudadano la vea como algo inocuo y propio de una sociedad moderna, aunque sea todo lo contrario.

El sistema educativo en todas sus ramas y escalas, salvo excepciones, no combate la corrupción, más bien la

NCL, the Norwegian feeder and shortsea carrier, has introduced a totally new concept for shortsea shipping. Check video here!
 

An aging fleet, stricter emission standards and a desire to move transport from roads to sea, generates a need for new solutions for coastal transport.

Recently a new ship concept was launched. Short Sea Pioneer is a revolutionary two-vessel solution that may change the way we transport goods in Europe. If successful, the concept will make eco-friendly coastal transport more competitive with road transport.

- Cargo volumes will increase 30-40% over the next 25 years. If we are not able to shift cargo from road to sea we will have too many truck on our roads and currently sea
