How Sweden Investigated An Engine Room Fire Accident in 1985

At the time, Sweden had a Fire Protection Commission composed of personnel from shore-based fire services, the Maritime Administration, and other maritime-related institutions, including union members.

At the time this research began…

China somehow doesn’t publish the names of its maritime militia vessels. This would undermine the militia’s fundamental advantages of secrecy and deniability. It is also uncommon for Chinese publications to identify particular vessels’ militia connections. Analysts are using clues to determine if a ship is probable to be China’s maritime militia vessel or not.

Western countries have been suspicious of China’s outburst of development finance in Africa, even urging African nations to reject Chinese funding.

Furthermore, most African governments often avoid the World Bank and IMF, which have strict compliance requirements for their lending facilities.
