Container World!
Shipping containers has always faced problems in rough weather, because of the ships listing some containers fall off and are lost! But this is about to all change with a new type of fixed ribs being built to hold a certain number of boxes in place!
These vessels may look a bit strange or ugly to the eye when empty, but this new system will save the insurance of goods a lot less and the safety of other shipping having a collision with underwater or surface floating containers?
These are on of the main changes, there are few more to do with engineering and rig support vessels and their ability and stability to work at sea, cutting out the expense of installing rigs until it is definitely confirmed that a potential profit will be made from either gas or oil!

The decline in the price of Steel. Part-Two.
A point has to Come?
The demand for more metal items is actually on the decline as we said before, since the introduction of new types of combined plastics. Ship building and the need for the construction, road and railway building industry will continue to demand metal.
But the reallity is we will at some point need to start to re-cycle steel or we will face the WALLY situation of a world glut dump of metal and all the rubbish that the human race is accumilating.
The peoples Republic of China has given the world a gift while pricing its own self out? The idea that the steel market in a few years will lift up cannot be sustained by the building debt on some of these plants across the world.
This is serious in the west, when mainy are linked to pension schemes that are becoming chains to profits and something will have to be done by governments who may take advice to convert over that of closing down?

Costa Concordia.
In the light of the Costa Concordia.
What should be the future of the cruise liner industry?
It is ironic that 101 years ago, after the sinking of the Titanic and its fatal collision with an iceberg in the N-Atlantic Ocean with the loss of 1800 lives.
The problems then were that the vessel did not have enough life boats. This time possibly 30-40 people have died, because of a mistake?
Why has no one learned from the past, ship builders and shipping lines seem to be greedy and believe their ships will never come to serious harm.
What a fallacy for any man made object.
