Unless we do something, the ailing industry will get even worse" - Yasuhiko Katoh, président de la Shipbuilders’ Association of Japan

Alors que l’industrie se porte déjà mal que ce soit pour la Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering de Corée du Sud, deuxième plus importante mondiale, la China State Shipbuilding (CSSC), une des deux principales du pays ou de manière générale en ce qui concerne l’industrie navale et l’industrie #lourde au Japon. Pour ce dernier cette industrie avait été expansive dans les années 90’ mais a chuté en 2017 alors que la Corée du Sud c’est améliorée #technologiquement, c’est alliée à Hyundai Heavy Industries et que ses #bateaux apparaissent moins couteux que ceux du Japon sur le #marché aux même titre que ceux de la Chine. De ce fait malgré la situation difficile des trois pays sur le marché naval aucun accord n’est décidé et la #concurrence reste rude. Les #constructeurs japonais tentent alors de s’étendre en #outre-mer avec Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding et Tsuneishi Shipbuilding, ou de se plaindre de la Corée du Sud la World #Trade Organization.

Royal Dutch Shell has kicked off production at its deepwater Kaikias development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico at a break-even price of less than $30 per barrel.

Shell Offshore, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, announced Thursday the early start of production at the first phase of Kaikias, which has an estimated peak production of 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), around one-year ahead of schedule.

Shell says it has reduced costs by around 30% at this deep-water project since taking the investment decision in early 2017, lowering the forward-looking, break-even price to less than $30 per barrel of oil.
[…]
Kaikias is located in the prolific Mars-Ursa basin around 130 miles (210 kilometres) from the Louisiana coast and is owned by Shell (80% working interest), as operator, and MOEX North America LLC (20% working interest), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd.

The Kaikias development, located in around 4,500 feet (1,372 metres) of water, sends production from its four wells to the Shell-operated (45%) Ursa hub, which is co-owned by BP (23%), Exxon Mobil (16%), and ConocoPhillips (16%). From the Ursa hub, volumes ultimately flow into the Mars oil pipeline.

In the first quarter of 2018, Shell deep water produced around 731,000 boe/d, globally.

MOL to Develop Northern Sea Route Shipping with Russia – gCaptain

Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines has reached an agreement with the Russian government to help develop maritime shipping along the Northern Sea Route and the Russian Far East as melting ice in the Arctic makes commercial shipping in the region a more viable option for transporting cargoes from between Europe and Asia.

MOL signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Monday with the Far East Investment and Export Agency under the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East to cooperate with each other on the development.

MOL has been working with Russia on the chartering of vessels for Russia’s Yamala LNG Project, the world first large-scale energy project that exports LNG cargoes through the Northern Sea Route. MOL’s first of three icebreaking LNG carriers for the project, named Vladimir Rusanov, is slated to enter service at the end of March. MOL has also been working on feasibility study with PAO Novatek, the largest independent gas producer in Russia and the main shareholder of the Yamal LNG project, which is aimed at establishing an LNG transshipment terminal and marketing complex in the Kamchatka area.

Japanese container shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) has taken delivery of the MOL Triumph, the new ‘world’s biggest containership’ and the first ‘megaship’ to pass the 20,000 TEU threshold. 

The MOL Triumph was delivered Monday by Samsung Heavy Industries in Geoje, South Korea, where the vessel has been under construction since January 2016 – just 15 months ago. The vessel was named during a ceremony at the shipyard held March 15.

At 400 meters in length and 58.8 meters in beam, the MOL Triumph is now officially the world’s largest containership with capacity to carry a whopping 20,150 twenty-foot containers (TEU). She is the first of six 20,000 TEU-class Ultra-Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) MOL ordered from SHI back in February 2015.

La #Chine saisit un #bateau #japonais, au nom d’un différend datant des années 1930

Le #tribunal #maritime de #Shanghaï a fait saisir le Baosteel Emotion de la société japonaise de transport maritime Mitsui OSK Lines, à la suite d’un différend datant de 1936. À l’époque, le prédécesseur de #Mitsui OSK, #Daido Shipping, avait loué des bateaux de la société chinoise Zhongwei Shipping #réquisitionnés par la marine japonaise.

Les tentions entre Chine et Japon ne semblent pas en passe de se détendre,hélas !
