In this episode of the wavelength podcast:

Matt Coyne examines the ongoing impact of Middle East tension on tanker rates.

In the week of the Day of the Seafarer, insurance and risk reporter Paul Peachey looks at why seafarer deaths remain so high.

And the ship recycling convention is now in force. What's good, what's bad about it?

The father of the convention Nikos Mikelis comments on the challenges it faces from the Basel Convention, especially as it was Basel that asked the International Maritime Organization to handle shipping.
