BBC World Service - World Business Report, Shipping companies ponder returning to the Red Sea

Major shipping companies ponder returning to the Red Sea despite attacks.

Maersk, the Danish shipping firm, says it's preparing to resume operations in the Red Sea area; while the German company, Hapag Lloyd, says it will decide on Wednesday whether or not to continue with its routes. Vivienne Nunis hears from Jakob Larsen, Head of Maritime Safety & Security at Bimco - a members' organisation for ship owners and brokers, on what the companies will be considering.

Our reporter Leanna Byrne is in Ireland where she hears from the country's most famous brand, Guinness, how they are trying to boost their productivity levels.

Plus we hear from victims of identity fraud - and find out the steps being taken to combat the growing threat.
