Some of the takeaways from the annual CERAWeek'24: - Demand for oil and gas continues to rise alongside solar, wind and biofuels - Despite geopolitical turmoils, global oil prices have remained stable, in a range between $75 and $85 per barrel - This has not accelerated the transition to electric vehicles and renewable fuels just yet even though parties are building towards energy security - Carbon sequestration technology and hydrogen fuels will continue their vital roles towards decarbonization - OPEC forecasts relatively strong oil demand and economic growth, a view that encourages more oil and gas activity and mergers

Will ammonia become the new alternative clean fuel for vessels? With IMO 2020 in our rear view mirror, we look towards the achieving the targets set by IMO 2050. An ambitious goal of net zero GHG emissions from international shipping will force shipowners to tinker with alternatives. Ammonia, by and large used in Agriculture as fertilizer, when produced with renewable energy is referred to as 'Green Ammonia'. A zero-carbon fuel that would aid in shipowners meeting the IMO 2050 emissions reduction targets. While there is great optimism within the industry towards 'Green Ammonia' for decarbonisation, the challenges such as toxicity to crew and marine life remain. The key is to de-risk Ammonia as a fuel through proper handling, transportation and storage. Follow us at calibr:e for the latest news in commodities and shipping.

We realize that there are many key factors such as work/life balance, company’s environment and culture that play a role in the compatibility and eventually longevity of one’s stint in a workplace.

As we bid adieu to a very eventful 2023 and usher in the new year, here’s a warm and truly heartfelt happy new year from me and the team at calibr:e. A huge and sincere thank you to all those who have supported us in the inception of calibr:e and our growth this year. A big heartfelt thank you to all our clients, candidates and supportive and helpful network; without whom none of this would be possible. As we go into 2024, we will seek to grow at a measured and organic pace, capturing opportunities as they present themselves. Further bolstering and strengthening our commodities offering and coverage, expanding our coverage of shipping, building upon and growing our finance and accounting pillar, and likely also building out web3.0 and new tech. However any growth of the team and business shall never come at the expense of our core values and value proposition; and we will never compromise on our standards of professionalism, high personal touch and personal care, confidentiality and discretion, and above all honesty and integrity. So once again, here’s wishing everyone a most blessed and successful 2024. May you all navigate the upcoming (likely) challenging year along with the (probably many) opportunities it presents with a huge dose of wisdom and wits. Happy new year! - Daniel

Interesting to see B24 ucome bio-MGO bunker developments in Singapore. Would also be interesting to see what upcoming developments arise in China regarding this.

You learn something new everyday. =) Didn't know this little known fact, and what a nickname to be called the "father of containerisation". Sometimes, the simplest of ideas can have the biggest of impacts.

Sending you a Diwali wish filled with hope, positivity, and the promise of brighter days ahead 🌟🪔
