Maersk Line boss Nils Smedegaard Andersen was in a confident mood after his carrier posted a decent US$204 million profit in the first quarter. Making a profit when Asia-Europe is a disaster and many other carriers are wallowing in red ink is impressive enough, but the Maersk CEO raised eyebrows when he addressed the rates issue. He told Reuters he had "no doubt" the carrier could increase rates from their current level of $730 to $1,481 per TEU on July 1.

These missiles are capable of delivering conventional or nuclear payloads at speeds not imagined hitertoo over long ranges. By Sudhi Ranjan Sen The Defence Research and Development (DRDO) has started work to produce a hypersonic weapon – missiles that travel at five times speed of sound, or a little over a mile every second. A wind tunnel to test and fine tune the technology will be operational soon, senior government officials who did not want to be named said. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to inaugurate the facility soon, they added. “A hypersonic weapon system is one of the many niche technologies we are exploring seriously,” one of the officials said, asking not to be named. Billed as a “next-gen” weapon system, the race to acquire hypersonic weapons technology is heating up. China, Russia, and the United States are testing hypersonic weapons of various types to enhance strategic nuclear deterrence and strengthen front-line combat units. Existing intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) re-entry vehicles also travel at those superfast speeds, but the hypersonic glide vehicles now in development are far more manoeuvrable, making their tracking and interception nearly impossible.
