Potential for Fiji to receive panama-size ships: Cawaki The Fiji Maritime Safety Authority’s grand vision is for Fiji to be the only transshipment hub in the region. CEO Joeli Cawaki says for that, Fiji needs to work on extending its ports to cater for the panamax-size vessel transportation cargo from other continents. He says that Fiji is yet to grab hold of the potential for Fiji to be the center of the region and is determined to raise the standard of MSAF to be one of the top priorities for the government. https://lnkd.in/gVjM4X_n

Red Sea Diversions Leave Asia-Europe Loops Short of Ships Despite the large tranches of new container shipping capacity hitting the water in recent months, Asia-Europe services are still short of ships to the tune of almost 10%, according to new research from Alphaliner. The analyst said that as a result of the Red Sea crisis and diversion of vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, the number of ships needed to maintain weekly service frequency from Asia to Europe had risen from the 321 needed for the 27 services offered this time last year, to 376 required to operate the current 25 services. However, there are just 340 ships deployed on Asia-Europe services by the three alliances, leaving a shortfall of some 36 on the trades to Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. “Taking into account that the average vessel size on this trade stands at 14,150 teu, some 509,400 extra slots are still needed,” said Alphaliner today. “This represents 9.6% of the capacity required to guarantee weekly sailings for all alliance loops.” It noted there was some disparity between the groups’ vessel-sharing agreements, with the Ocean Alliance carriers most exposed to capacity limitations.
