Fair play to @IMOHQ chief @ArsenioDoming11 - a voice of calm and reason during US-Iran war and Hormuz crisis. This moment may ironically prove to the US how essential multilateralism is, after the US has done so much to undermine it at IMO recently. news.sky.com/video/imo-chie…

The "LNG is a bridge fuel" fairy tale is dead Why build expensive, long-term import infrastructure for a dirty commodity - gas- prone to geopolitical ransom when you can buy dispatchable solar for less than $80/MW? 5/7

When the International Maritime Organization calls an emergency meeting, you know something serious is happening at sea. Politics is no longer the only issue surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. It has to do with people. Around 20,000 seafarers are stuck in the Gulf right now 🚢 Waiting. Uncertain. Carrying the stress of a situation they didn’t choose. Ships are slowing down, rerouting, or even stopping because this route handles an important amount of the world's oil. But while trade can adjust, crew safety cannot wait. The IMO is now getting involved to discuss threats, safeguards, and future developments. So what should come first right now? Trade flow or crew safety? #maritime #seafarers #shipping #IMO #GlobalTrade #StraitOfHormuz #ships

Shipping companies are learning the hard way that LNG is a volatile, unreliable energy source Asian LNG prices doubled in just two days after Straits of Hormuz shut down, according to media reports

After production at Qatar's massive 77 mtpa LNG facility ended, Shell plc declared a force majeure on LNG cargoes related to QatarEnergy. When the largest LNG trader in the world delays deliveries, it becomes a market issue rather than a business issue. This is where geopolitics has a significant commercial impact on the shipping and energy markets. If the shutdown continues into April, supply planning, charter rates, and tanker schedules may all change. Global power markets, shipping lanes, and terminals can all be affected by a single disruption at the source. The timing of LNG trade is essential and the clock is currently unreliable.

The Strait of Hormuz is a key global shipping chokepoint, carrying about a quarter of seaborne oil and significant volumes of liquefied natural gas and fertilizers. What do current disruptions mean for global trade and development? @UNCTAD analysis: ow.ly/toJK50YrRQN

HSFO prices up 40% since US-Iran war started. VLSFO in Singapore now over $800/mt All this started by Trump who said he opposed the IMO Net Zero Framework because he was worried about higher fuel costs. Really could not make it up. reuters.com/business/energ…?

🐳After the hugely successful ban on commercial whaling 40 years ago, the biggest threat to whales now is cargo ships hitting them, killing an estimated 20,000 whales each year 🚢🤯 So how are we going to protect whales this time? Will we ever see a strong stance from @IMOHQ? Great piece by @Cat_Early76 in @DialogueEarth_ dialogue.earth/en/ocean/is-it…?

Hope governments at @IMOHQ factor this new evidence into the economic cost of doing nothing. Trump admin. is trying to bring the world into their bizarre, cult-like belief that if we ignore climate change, it costs us nothing. That is false - ignoring it costs us $ Trillions.

Accounting for Ocean Damage Nearly Doubles the Cost of Climate Change “For a long time, climate economics treated the ocean values as if it were worth zero. This is a first step toward finally acknowledging how wrong that was.” insideclimatenews.org/news/15012026/…

We continue to expand our clean fuel supply chain. Our first 8,500 DWT duplex stainless steel chemical tanker “ZHONG RAN LV NENG 85” was launched, and will be deployed as a methanol bunkering vessel in China for methanol dual-fuel ships.⛽♻🚢 #InternationalDayofCleanEnergy

📢Today on occasion of the #NorthSeaSummit we are proud to launch the North Sea Alliance together with leading environmental NGOs to ensure #OffshoreWind scales up with ocean protection at its core. 💙 Find out more👉seas-at-risk.org/general-news/l… #NorthSea #OffshoreRenewables #EUOceans

“Compound climate risks”, including co-occurring windstorms, floods and intense rainfall, are driving hundreds of millions in damages to European ports every year A reminder that unpriced emissions are not "free". iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Innovation was never optional. It was survival. ​ Onboard Green Pioneer in New York, Dr. Andrew Forrest, Executive Chairman and Founder of Fortescue, joined Jessica Sibley, CEO of @TIME, for TIME’s Executive Spotlight. 🚢​ ​ Andrew’s message was clear. Fortescue exists because we backed crazy plans and took risks others wouldn’t. We did it by backing technology others wouldn’t. That same innovative DNA now drives our push to Real Zero.

@johnkonrad @SecRubio Hi John, the UN is just a forum where sovereign *countries*, including the US, can meet up to agree common rules on shared challenges. From the sinking of Titanic onwards, most countries see it as common sense to agree better safety and environmental standards for the sector.

How do ya’ll feel about the UN’s London cabal that regulates 90% of world trade shrugging off @SecRubio’s warnings? 1/2
