🌍 A Sustainable Step Forward: Lower Thames Crossing Approved! 🌱 The UK government has given the green light to the £9 billion Lower Thames Crossing, a game-changer for sustainable transport and logistics. This new road tunnel under the River Thames will not only ease congestion at the Dartford Crossing but also play a crucial role in reducing emissions and improving efficiency in freight movement. 🔹 Lower emissions – Less congestion means fewer idling vehicles and a significant reduction in carbon emissions. 🔹 Boosting efficiency – A more reliable and resilient transport link supports sustainable logistics. 🔹 Job creation – Up to 22,000 jobs will be generated, contributing to a greener economy. 🔹 Future-proofing infrastructure – Designed with sustainability at its core to support long-term decarbonisation goals. As the UK moves towards net-zero transport, infrastructure projects like this highlight the critical link between connectivity and sustainability. What are your thoughts on how this project can drive greener logistics? Let’s discuss! 👇 #Sustainability #LowerThamesCrossing #Decarbonisation #GreenLogistics #FutureofTransport #NetZero

Supporting Ports: Commercially & Leisure – The Power of Shore Power ⚓⚡

Electrification: Powering a Safer & Greener Future for Ports ⚡⚓ The push for port electrification is transforming global trade, reducing emissions, and driving the shift towards a more sustainable maritime industry. But as we move away from fossil fuels, safety must be a core part of the conversation. 🔌 Shore power eliminates ship emissions at berth—but how do we ensure safe infrastructure and energy resilience? 🚢 Electrified port equipment reduces carbon footprints—yet requires new safety protocols for battery storage and high-voltage systems. ⚡ Green energy grids support port operations—but how do we manage supply and demand while maintaining operational safety? Electrification is not just about sustainability—it’s about building a port system that is cleaner, safer, and future-proof for workers, communities, and global supply chains. What are the biggest safety considerations in port electrification? Let’s discuss. 👇 #PortElectrification #SustainablePorts #ShorePower #GreenShipping #SafetyFirst #Decarbonisation

🚢 Rotterdam Congestion Forces Carriers to Reroute 🌍⚓ Severe congestion at Rotterdam’s port has led MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company and CMA CGM to omit it from their North Europe-Australia service until at least June. Meanwhile, the Ocean Alliance is shifting to Southampton for its Far East-Europe service. 🔍 The bigger picture? Port congestion means longer idling times, increased emissions, and disrupted supply chains. Shore power, alternative fuels, and digitalisation are key to keeping ports efficient and sustainable. 📢 Will Rotterdam recover with infrastructure and green initiatives? Let’s discuss. 👇 #SustainablePorts #PortCongestion #Shipping #Logistics #GreenShipping #Rotterdam #Emissions #Decarbonisation
