Partner Marcos Martins was interviewed on the TV program "Conexão Porto & Indústria," where he discussed a paper produced by SMA Partners in 2019. The paper addressed 16 international conventions related to the shipping industry that Brazil should ratify to enhance its legal framework. Marcos Martins highlighted that while Brazil is a party to most conventions concerning the safety of navigation, the country has not yet adopted certain private law conventions, such as the Arrest Convention 1999 and the Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention 1993. He also presented cases that could have been better resolved by Brazilian judges if these conventions were in force. *** Entrevista de Marcos Martins para Conexão Porto & Indústria sobre a necessidade de ratificação das Convenções Internacionais envolvendo matérias relevantes para o Direito Marítimo, conforme conclusões de trabalho produzido pelos sócios Leven Siano e Fabiana Martins, além do próprio Marcos Martins, em 2019.

In 2023, orderbooks for vessels sailing on methanol or ammonia were around 0%, but the two fuels are set to make up more than 70% of tonnage by 2050. The most significant growth in alternative fuels is methanol. It started at practically 0% in 2023, but by 2050, methanol-powered ships are expected to account for 42% of tonnage, writes classification society American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) in a report that looks at figures from 2023. The order book for ammonia-powered ships was also around 0% in 2023, but by 2050 they are expected to account for 33% of tonnage. #shipping #oceanfreight #freight #globaltrade #sustainability #energytransition
