Interest in all things port related continues to make for strong readership levels on the blog, this week our notes on a mega-merger in the global shipping industry attracted the most views over the last seven days.
Another area of port development that caught the attention of readers this week was our look at the progress of the Ray-Mont Grain handling facility on Ridley Island
Other items that found some significant interest from our readers included our preview of the weekend music festival at the North Pacific Cannery site, as well as the latest in fire restrictions announced for the Northwest by the province of B.C.
And municipal politics, once again was of some interest to readers, with our item reviewing a recently released Report on how the City has used the Legacy Fund in 2016, finding strong numbers in the short period of time that we have posted the story to the blog.
The top story of the week takes us overseas and into the boardrooms of two of the largest shipping lines, as the Cosco line, expands on its holdings for international container shipping.
