The shipping industry is facing a growing safety concern as the ageing fleet continues to pose problems. According to Lloyd’s List, shipowners are delaying the scrapping of older vessels in order to maximise their earning potential amidst higher freight rates driven by a tonne-mile market. This trend is exacerbating the issues associated with an ageing fleet, potentially compromising the safety of crew, cargo, and the environment.
As a leading freight forwarding company, RW Freight recognises the importance of addressing this issue to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of goods across the globe. By working closely with reputable shipping lines RW Freight aims to mitigate the risks associated with an ageing fleet and provide its clients with reliable and secure shipping solutions.
