Solicita la activación "inmediata" del 'Programa Cleanseanet', especializado en detectar por satélite vertidos de hidrocarburos en el mar

Un programa similar detectó hace 12 años más de 100 derrames de crudo deliberados en la región macaronésica y en el Archipiélago

El Cabildo se dirige directamente al organismo europeo por "la connivencia manifiesta entre el Gobierno de España y Repsol "

Japanese Container and Bulk Freight Shipping Line Orders New LNG Vessel  

Second Ship of Type for Power Group Charter

JAPAN – US – K Line, the Japanese container shipping and bulk freight carrier claims a better knowledge than most about the transport by sea of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), having established a foothold in the fledgling industry over thirty years ago with the delivery of its first LNG tanker, the SS Bishu Maruway back in 1983, since when it claims to have developed both knowledge of the industry and network to suit. The company has now ordered a newbuild ship and says its goal is to develop further in the field and simultaneously develop a more stable earnings structure adopted as part

The discovery of a new form of ice could lead to an improved understanding of our planet’s geology, potentially helping to unlock new solutions in the production, transportation and storage of energy. Ice XVI, the least dense of all known forms of ice, has a highly symmetric cage-like structure that can trap gaseous molecules to form compounds known as clathrates or gas hydrates.
 
Such clathrates are now known to store enormous quantities of methane and other gases in the permafrost as well as in vast sediment layers hundreds of metres deep at the bottom of the ocean floor. Their potential decomposition could therefore have significant consequences for our planet, making an

Vietnam has helped ensure peace in the South China Sea dispute with Beijing by following the Philippines in seeking UN arbitration, Manila said, despite the fact that Beijing has refused to take part.

Beijing claims almost the entire energy-rich South China Sea but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan also have claims. Only Brunei has not occupied and garrisoned territory in the potential flashpoint in the region.

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE: Starting from 1 January 2015, vessels entering the North American and North European emission control areas (ECAs) will have to comply with the revised permitted limit of sulphur in marine fuel.

Only a few weeks away, edgy marine insurers have expressed concerns over potential technical issues regarding the regulations.

Oslo-headquartered Skuld has reminded that existing engine rooms and tanks were originally designed for heavy fuel oil (HFO), and therefore extensive preparation beforehand will be needed to make sure the vessels are able to adjust to
