This week's episode of Wavelength is a Hong Kong Special, following Hong Kong Maritime Week in the Chinese city-state this week.

Craig Eason and Huaqing Ma are here to report back on all the hot topics from Hong Kong Maritime Week and also from our TradeWinds Ship Recycling Forum, where scrapping dark-fleet vessels was hotly debated.

Eric Martin is here to wrap up the findings of the investigation into the ship crash in Baltimore that brought down a bridge, and resulted in the loss of lives. The probable cause of the accident was so tiny that investigators might easily have missed it, were it not for help from the ship's builder.

Finally, our newbuilding queens Lucy Hine and Irene Ang are here to discuss their upcoming special report on the shipbuilding sector, which will be published in TradeWinds next week. What has newbuilding business been like this year? Kind of muted, Irene and Lucy agreed.

Host and producer: Holly Birkett.
