The transport sector is the only sector in the European Union that has shown an increase in environmental pollutants since 1990. The European Union should reconsider the restriction on subsidizing new trucks in the road freight transport sector so that transporters can reduce environmental pollutants and at the same time provide greater safety to other citizens. It has been observed that every year the road freight transport sector has a continuously aging fleet. This is another reason why the European Union should take immediate measures to modernize our sector.

Calling all 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 & 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝... 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 for the Simpler Recycling Regulations coming into force on 31 March 2025...? Here's our guide to assist you... ♻️

One of the things the #UNPlasticsTreaty will need to do if it's to be effective is to ensure that plastic - and hopefully other (include the methane-generating organic) - waste is collected. The UN Environment Programme suggested that 2.7 billion people currently have no waste collection service. But what is the service like for people to whom it's provided? Is it any good? How convenient is it? It'll be a meaningless #UNPlasticsTreaty if there are no targets and standards for waste collection and recycling. I've just had the pleasure of joining a Roundtable hosted by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. The issue being discussed was standards and systems, and after some top drawer headline speeches from Kevin Kwilinski and Allison Lin 林宜蓁, we had a wide ranging discussion. That included waste collection, how we can make that happen, the role of EPR, the relevance of fee modulation and the role of recycled content mandates. We were marvelously moderated by Martyn Tickner. So, I've had a go at a straw man for people to have a look at. It's not going to be right, but we need to start this conversation now. And if we can lift our sights from 'just' a narrow focus on 'plastic waste', we can move towards addressing methane emissions from the waste sector (the scale of which, I'd suggest, we don't fully understand). Have a look - I'd welcome comments. And I hope it stimulates thinking about how this might look in the final #UNPlasticsTreaty text. The text is here - https://lnkd.in/e5wRhEfz - and will appear on the Reloop website in the near future. Please share widely. On the Reloop website, there is proposed text for Measures, as well as for financing: it's clear the Treaty needs to ensure the basis for ensuring this happens is all in place. That won't always be about 'capital investments' - it's going to be about stable revenue streams that provide the basis for making investments.

In 2024, the shipping industry has been caught in a maelstrom of challenges that threaten to destabilise global supply chains, endanger crew safety, and derail progress made on environmental sustainability. Allianz Commercial’s annual Safety and Shipping Review, due to be published later this month, has examined emerging risk areas and proposed solutions to navigate this turbulent landscape and build a more resilient industry. https://bit.ly/3V8HWX6 Via Hellenic Shipping News

🗣️ "We reached out to Lloyd's Register for a comparative study to identify the best technology for our needs, and the eSAIL® solution ranked first.” This testimonial from Fabian Kowatsch, Shipping Decarbonization Lead at Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), was shared during a recent webinar focused on boosting fleet profitability and meeting EU and international regulations with suction sail technology. In the session, Fabian offered insights into how LDC is proactively advancing its green goals 🌍 and the steps they took in selecting and installing suction sails on their fleet. 🔗Link to full testimonial: https://lnkd.in/eWBqHYpF The IMO2020 fuel-sulphur regulation was a pivotal step toward sustainability, and the upcoming EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime regulations made it clear to LDC that, as Fabian put it, “it was time for all stakeholders to adapt.” 🚢 He went on to say: “bound4blue are cut from the same cloth as the other partners in the project. Since signing the contract, they’ve been by our side, providing advice, feedback, and lessons learned from previous projects, which has helped us anticipate and manage a number of challenges together.” We’re proud and grateful to have Louis Dreyfus Company on board as we work together toward decarbonization. 💙 Stay tuned for updates on the wind-assisted MV Atlantic Orchard’s maiden voyage. We think the juice it carries will taste sweeter than ever! 🧃 #shipsandshipping #windpropulsion

What an October 👏 Scrolling through pictures on my phone with my daughters the other day led me to realize just how busy—and incredibly interesting—October had been. It all started with MEPC 82, where a range of exciting topics were on the agenda, but also the unveiling of a model of a Maersk dual-fuel methanol vessel to be displayed at the IMO. Among the most prominent MEPC-discussions were GHG-related measures, including a revision of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and the adoption of a pricing mechanism. The latter, in particular, is vital to achieving the IMO’s GHG Strategy goals and supporting the industry’s shift to greener fuels. This segways nicely into another October highlight: attending the naming ceremony in Felixstowe for one of Maersk’s new dual-fuel methanol container vessels, the ‘Alexandra Maersk’. It was a monumental experience to witness such a vessel firsthand and hear the talented crew onboard explain its operations. Sharing this experience with colleagues, customers and friends from the IMO made it even more special. The Alexandra Maersk is the sixth vessel equipped to run on methanol in both its main and auxiliary engines, and the fifth in a series capable of carrying over 16,000 TEU. She’s a true testament to what’s possible as the industry strives to fulfill the IMO’s GHG Strategy. Looking ahead to November, it promises to be just as engaging. I’ll be attending the Tradewinds conference in Copenhagen on Ship Recycling, where I’ll discuss the need for clarity on the perceived legal overlaps between the IMO’s Hong Kong Convention (HKC) and the UNEP’s Basel Convention (BC) regarding ship recycling.
