DENMARK SENDS FREGATE TO PIRATE INFECTED REGION

Thu Mar 18 11:01:31 CET 2021

Denmark has deployed the 'Ivar Huitfeldt' to the Gulf of Guinea, where it will contribute to the fight against pirates. The waters can currently be described as the most dangerous in the world with pirate attacks and kidnappings. The frigate can help to deter the pirates from attacking or, if an attack happens and the crew managed to escape to the citadel, can subsequently come to their rescue. It also has the political effect sending the signal that Denmark takes piracy seriously. In addition, it sends a signal to the other countries that have naval efforts in the Gulf of Guinea that Denmark also supports them. The Minister of Defense, Trine Bramsen, has long worked to get more countries to participate in the work of fighting pirates in the area, so that all ships can feel safer, but so far without success. Three Danish merchant ships have been attacked by pirates in the area in recent months. The number of pirate attacks in the area was on a record high in 2020 with a total of 195 incidents in which up to 150 sailors were kidnapped.

United States President Joe Biden said on Thursday that China is investing three times more than the US in infrastructure as he made the case for his next major initiative.

Speaking at his first formal press conference as president, Biden told reporters he will unveil the details of his ambitious infrastructure bill on Friday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "It’s the place where we’ll be able to significantly increase American productivity," he remarked.

Biden's infrastructure bill could come with a price tag as high as $4 trillion according to reports. Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the Biden administration's infrastructure package will require tax hikes.

The high container freight rates have already meant that many cargoes of American agricultural commodities have been rejected by container shippers and had to be shipped as dry bulk. An even tighter container supply situation could contribute to even more cargoes being directed towards the dry bulk sector with beneficial effects for the tonnage demand. https://www.breakwaveadvisors.com/insights/2021/…l-supply-chains

The high demand for dry bulk ships at the start of this year is also reflected in fast rising asset values. For example, a 15-year-old panamax ship is now worth 47.4% more than it was on January 1 2021, an increase of almost $4m. https://splash247.com/secondhand-bul…e-hands-so-far/ https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/second-hand-bu…e-hands-so-far/

China plans to be transport powerhouse, fueling GDP growth

The ministry will implement major engineering projects and key transportation missions listed in the country’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), which emphasized that China should upgrade high-speed railway and rail equipment manufacturing.

“The growth of infrastructure input might slow down a bit this year as a result of inflation and rapid GDP growth, but it will likely accelerate again next year to support the economy. In total, incremental infrastructure input from 2021 to 2025 should reach a record high,” Tian Yun, vice director of the Beijing Economic Operation Association, told the Global Times on Wednesday. https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/china-plans-to…ing-gdp-growth/
