Indonesia Oil & Gas Report Includes 10-Year Forecasts To 2026

Falling production against rising demand will see Indonesia become a larger importer of crude oil, refined fuels and natural gas (in the form of LNG) over our 10-year forecast period. Notably, diminishing gas supplies and subsequent pressure to exports will turn Indonesia into a net LNG importer for the first time by 2021. Realisation of the government's ambitious downstream expansion plans cou…

Inland Waterway Freight Transport in the UK

Inland waterways play a much greater role in inland freight carrying in the United Kingdom than is generally realised. The purpose of this article is to show the extent of the underestimation of water transport and to outline the potential for future development and the problems which will have to be overcome to realise that potential.

Green Maritime Logistics and Sustainability

The environmental consequences of international trade and transport have gained importance as a result of the current climate debate. Products are increasingly being produced in one part of the world, transported to another country and then redistributed to their final country of consumption. Since more than 80% of world trade tonnage measured in metric tons is carried by seagoing vessels, mar…
