Big-bucks boxship deals show big is still beautiful — but small is sublime

Big-bucks boxship deals show big is still beautiful — but small is sublime

A $1.3bn boxship order by Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has made the front page of the TradeWinds newspaper this week.

Reporter Ian Lewis speaks to host Holly Birkett about why megaship orders are still going strong, even as most other owners are favouring smaller vessels. Ian also fills us in on the rationale behind MPC Container Ships' $228m order for four 4,500-teu boxships.

The US has threatened countries that trade with Russia with secondary trade tariffs. US bureau chief Eric Priante Martin explores the possible ramifications for shipping in the future.

Finally, reporter Matt Coyne has looked at tanker traffic in the Red Sea following the latest round of deadly Houthi attacks on vessels. He talks about some surprising trends.

Host and producer: Holly Birkett.

Additional news: Yannick Guerry.

Craig Eason is away.
