Set sail: The Asia-Pacific Tipline for 1 November 2019

Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering sailed through their first merger clearance – in Kazakhstan – this week. The shipbuilders still have to secure approval in their home country of Korea, as well as in the EU, Japan, China and Singapore. As they navigate those waters, we’ll have the latest on a deal that some say could reshape the industry. For now, India is pursuing brewers' collusion, booking platforms' abuse of dominance and the possibility of settlements. And Australia has fielded a slew of authorisation requests and launched several informal merger reviews. We have all that and more.
