Containerschifffahrt: Wenn Shanghai wieder öffnet

Chaos in der Versorgungskette bei Wiederaufnahme des Schiffsverkehrs in Shanghai vorhergesagt. Nach Expertenschätzungen haben die Unterbrechungen der Lieferkette allein im April zu nicht verschifften 260.000 TEU von Shanghai aus geführt. In der gesamten Schifffahrtsbranche mehren sich die Vorhersagen, dass es erneut zu Störungen, Rückständen und möglicherweise sogar zu einem "Chaos" kommen wird, da China den Betrieb in Schanghai bald wieder aufzunehmen gedenkt. Nach achtwöchigem Stillstand aufgrund seiner Null-Toleranz-Politik COVID-19 wird das ein schwieriges Vorhaben.

King Sekhukhune I: Commissioning at the Cape of Good Hope

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) can significantly rejuvenate the coastal defence forces of the South African Navy (SAN) with the commissioning of its first MMIPV (Multi-Mission Inshore Patrol Vessel) named "King Sekhukhune I". Only three of the new "Warrior" class vessels with the distinctive sea-axe bow, built according to the STAN-Patrol 6211 Damen design at the Dutch branch in Cape Town, are to be built in the end, after six boats were initially calculated as the capability requirement. Day-to-day operations will now show how well the bow design is adapted to the wind and sea conditions at the Cape and around the southern tip of the African continent - and whether three boats will be able to cope with...
