TAMPICO, Tams.-Pese a que disponen de tecnología de punta y personal calificado, los Astilleros de Marina Número 1 de Tampico y de la Terminal Marítima Madero de Pemex se desaprovechan, porque los recursos oficiales escasean y los talleres no están abiertos a la iniciativa privada.
Así lo señalo Guillermo Parra Avello, ex presidente del Colegio de Marinos de Tamaulipas, quien precisó que se requiere de un esquema para abrir a la industria naval privada las instalaciones con las que cuentan Tampico y Madero en las márgenes del río Pánuco.
Ambos astilleros suelen despedir al personal temporal por falta de recursos para la rehabilitación de embarcaciones de Pemex o de la Secretaría de Marina, mientras que talleres de otras partes del mundo enfrenta sobresaturaciones y programan hasta por cinco años la construcción y entrega de embarcaciones.
Consideró necesario un esquema oficial que permita aprovechar adecuadamente los astilleros locales, a fin de generar empleos extras y una mayor derrama económica hacia la zona.
Manifestó que la localidad cuenta con reconocimiento internacional de su personal calificado y sus instalaciones disponen de equipo y tecnología de punta, sin que sean aprovechados adecuadamente.

Korean Ship Sinks Off Argentina
A 925-ton Korean trawler from Pusan on Wednesday sank in the Atlantic off the coast of Argentina, killing four people and leaving two others missing, the Korean Coast Guard said...
The Coast Guard received an SOS signal from the In Sung, vessel No. 207, at around 2:30 p.m. and reported it to rescue headquarters. Now six rescue ships from Korea are at the spot.
Three Koreans and a Chinese died, and two Koreans are missing as a result of the incident.
All 34 crewmembers, including 10 Koreans, 13 Chinese and 11 Vietnamese, were on the vessel at the time of the sinking. Twenty-eight of them were rescued before the ship sank.
The guard will ask Argentina’s rescue headquarters to provide the investigators at the site with rescue ships and aircraft.

Maersk Sealand quits Pacific shipping cartel
An association that recommends what Pacific maritime shippers should charge has lost a member -- the single largest cargo shipping line in the world...
Maersk Sealand said Tuesday that in one month it will resign from the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement, which recommends tran-Pacific cargo rates. Even without Maersk Sealand, the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement represents more than a dozen lines that haul more than two thirds of container traffic from the Asia-Pacific region to the United States. But Maersk Sealand alone hauls 9 percent of container traffic by sea in Northeast Asia, the Journal of Commerce reported.
Pacific maritime cargo rates were once set by an organization called the Asia North America Eastbound Rate Agreement that had antitrust immunity. In 1998, U.S. law was changed to allow lines to privately negotiate their own contracts with shippers. The Asia North America Eastbound Rate Agreement gave way to the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement, which is similar but has only advisory responsibilities. It can't impose rates on anyone. Instead, it seeks consensus.
Maersk Sealand said it has decided that it cannot respond quickly enough to customer needs as a member of an association that takes months to reach consensus on rates and changes its recommendations only once a year.
Maersk is a Danish shipping line. Sealand, formed a generation ago by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, was the pioneer of container shipping, in which huge boxes filled with cargo can be hoisted off ships and onto railroad flatcars or flatbed truck trailers. As C&O merged with other railroads and grew to become CSX Transportation, it focused less on international markets and finally sold Sealand to Maersk, retaining only its U.S. maritime operations, which became CSX Lines. That company, one of two major maritime shipping lines serving Hawaii, was sold to Seattle interests a few months ago and changed its name to Horizon Lines.
