    COLUMN | Keeping the pilot safe [Grey Power]

    By Michael Grey

    There are some problems that never seem to go away and one is the perennial difficulties in providing a safe way of getting pilots on and off a ship. Not every port can run to a helicopter and not every ship is suitable, but you wouldn’t think that it ought to be an insurmountable problem. Yet year after year, pilots get ..

    REMINISCENCES | Just like daddy’s yacht

    By Michael Grey

    I was looking at a photo of a research ship back from a voyage to the Polar regions, although you wouldn’t have known it from the pristine state of the hull. There was scarcely a blemish on a hull that had been crunching through thick ice for several months, a tribute to the amazing non-abrasive hull coatings that had ..

    The list of phantom projects in Russian ports has not changed a lot over the year although some projects have been restructured and given a second wind. Dramatic changes in global logistics affected the plans of those investing in port infrastructure of Russia. Ust-Luga hit the gas Baltic LNG, which used to be on the list ..

    REMINISCENCES | Away all boats

    By Michael Grey

    I was reading about an account of a recent accident involving a ship’s lifeboat, but not a serious one, thank goodness, with a man having to be fished out of the water. I was then also reflecting that we seemed to get away with murder in our expeditions with our own boats. I was also reading that there are very many ports ..
