  • Panama Canal sees traffic boost over Iran war

The war in the Middle East had prompted a surge in ships utilizing the Panama Canal, an executive for the interoceanic waterway said on Monday. It was known that five percent of global maritime trade passes through the Panama Canal and the route primarily connects the east coast of the United States with South Korea and Japan.

The canal executive warned that the passage of 40 daily boats wasn’t sustainable given the limited space on the route. She added that the canal should see renewed growth in the number of boats carrying liquified natural gas by April.

Russian oil tanker docks in Cuba after US blockade relief
A Russian-owned tanker carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of crude oil had docked on the northern coast of Cuba, ending a near-total fuel blockade by the US. The tanker's arrival marks the first crude oil shipment to dock in one of Cuba's ports since early January.US President Donald Trump's decision to let Russia deliver the oil avoids a confrontation with Russia and provides temporary relief to a country that has endured blackouts. The deputy director of the state-run oil firm CUPET told that the Russian crude will be refined to produce gasoline for transportation as well as diesel and fuel oil for backup power generators.mitv

Japan introduces joint custody option for divorced parents
Japan has started giving divorced parents an option to share custody of their children. Up until now, only one parent was allowed to exercise parental rights. The change that takes place on Wednesday is based on a Civil Code revision made two years ago. Parents will discuss whether to seek joint or sole custody.If they fail to agree, a family court will decide. If a court recognizes domestic violence or child abuse in the household, sole custody will be granted. Justice Minister Hiraguchi Hiroshi said the ministry will promote the spirit and the letter of the law to serve the children's best interests.mitv
