Bureau Veritas: pragmatic optimism brings out best in class

摘要

Last year was nowhere near as bad as many sectors of shipping feared, but this year has the potential to be seriously tough for the bulk and tank sectors and passenger shipyards in particular.rnHowever, it is not all gloom. Against that background, pragmatic optimists right across the marine industries are mobilising technology and capital and looking forward to the future. That future will be different from the last few years. Ships will be more efficient, with smaller environmental footprints. New ways of generating and using energy will come forward. Oil and gas will come from colder places and deeper water.
