Ships built during the financial crisis will be coming into dock this year, and manufacturers see it as an opportunity to entice them with the latest cargo carrying systems, writes Wendy Laursen

Rolls-Royce has developed a range of Safer Deck Systems that now includes a safer way of handling wires and hoses.

Markets continue to shift up and down but since summer, conditions are better for many shipowners and so it seems they have more scope for maintenance. “It seems nobody wants to have issues causing downtime now that the rates are up,” says Peter Peltenburg, group director of Cargo Care Solutions.
