In our March edition, we take a look at the potential impact of a merger of China’s two largest shipbuilders – CSSC and CSIC - which would reportedly create a company controlling around 46% of the global market among the world’s top ten shipyards.

We explore whether new measures need to be introduced to prevent human trafficking through ports, and find out what the authorities in charge of the world’s most important shipping canals – including the Panama, Suez and Corinth – are doing to mitigate their environmental impact.

Also next time: we speak to the UK-based University of Plymouth about the ground-breaking work it intends to carry out at its brand new Cyber-SHIP lab; investigate the potential future growth of Nigerian Ports following a new partnership with the Port of Antwerp; and ask whether new innovations in wind propulsion could help reinvigorate old trade routes.
