Supporting Peru on the London Protocol on waste dumping at sea

5 junio, 2023

Source: IMO Protecting the oceans from dumping of hazardous wastes at sea depends on full implementation of the London Protocol (LP), including development of national systems for assessing, permitting, monitoring and enforcement of disposal at sea activities. Officials from Peru have gained insight into how to fully implement the treaty during an in-person IMO national workshop held in Lima, Peru (31 May-1 June), hosted by the Peruvian Maritime Authority. The London Protocol entered into force in 2006. It prohibits all dumping at sea, other than when explicitly permitted under the terms of the treaty. Peru ratified the LP in 2018. Through a series of presentations, group discussions and case studies during the workshop, more than 40 senior officials from maritime and environmental authorities, the ports sector and marine institutes were sensitized in all matters (legal, technical, administrative) to support implementation of the convention. Participants were provided with an introduction to the LP, in the context of a legal framework for marine pollution management. Participants also discussed barriers to implementation of the treaty, and identified next steps for future coordination and cooperation to ensure effective implementation. The workshop was delivered through IMO’s Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP). It comes as

Export freights from the Port of Valencia register a fall of 14.22% in May

2 junio, 2023

Source: Valenciaport The Valencia Containerised Freight Index (VCFI), the indicator that measures the trend and evolution of container transport costs by sea from the Port of Valencia, recorded a fall of 14.22% in May compared to the previous month, standing at 1,885.54 points and accumulating a growth of 88.55% since the start of the historical series in January 2018. The Index reflects a decrease in the level of freight rates in almost all areas, among which the performance of the USA and Canada (-17.92%), Atlantic Europe (-15.29%) and Atlantic Latin America (-9.77%) should be highlighted. The performance of the Indian Subcontinent area is also significant, the only one to experience an increase, namely 6.32%. About the causes of the evolution of export freight rates, given their influence on the binomial formed by the supply and demand of maritime transport, it is worth highlighting the evolution of international trade, which has not yet found the stability required by the market. In this sense, the fall in the levels of export freight rates is framed in a context of generalised slowdown, where the world economy continues to be marked by the complex and uncertain situation of the war in Ukraine, with growing

APM Terminals Bahrain to become region’s first fully solar energy-powered seaport

31 mayo, 2023

APM Terminals Bahrain, the operator of Khalifa Bin Salman Port, has officially announced the launch of a ground-breaking solar power project worth approximately BHD3.8 million (USD 10 Million), which will make the port energy self-sufficient by the end of 2023. Source: APM Terminals By implementing this project, the terminal will reduce its carbon emissions by 65% while also securing a reliable and sustainable source of energy, effectively making Khalifa Bin Salman Port the region’s first fully energy-sufficient seaport. The solar power project is part of APM Terminals’ global decarbonisation plans, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2040. As a subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk, APM Terminals is committed to leading the way in promoting sustainability within the maritime industry, and the solar power project in Bahrain is one of the main pillars in its overall decarbonisation journey. Furthermore, the driving force behind the solar power initiative is in line with the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for a more prosperous and sustainable Bahrain and follows the carbon-neutral commitment made by Bahrain’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa to

Future Proof Shipping: first zero-emission hydrogen-powered inland container ship

30 mayo, 2023

On 25 May 2023, the H2 Barge 1 was taken into service in Rotterdam. This zero-emission ship from Future Proof Shipping (FPS) is 110 metres long and will sail for Nike several times a week between the port of Rotterdam and BCTN’s inland terminal in Meerhout, Belgium. This is expected to result in annual greenhouse gas emission savings of 2,000 tonnes of CO2 Source: Port of Rotterdam Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers was there to present FPS founder Huib van de Grijspaarde with a special A-Zero (A0) emissions label that is only awarded to emission-free vessels. Future Proof Shipping (FPS) aims to build and operate a fleet of more than 10 zero-emission inland and shortsea vessels over the next five years. Future Proof Shipping is a partner of Condor H2. This is a project for emission-free hydrogen-powered inland and coastal shipping. Condor H2 has more than 40 partners and was launched by a consortium, in which the Port of Rotterdam Authority participates, at the World Hydrogen Summit earlier this month. Thanks to Condor H2, it should be possible for 50 emission-free vessels to operate by 2030, achieving a total annual CO2 reduction of 100,000 tonnes.

What is intermodal transportation & how is it shaping the future of logistics?

30 mayo, 2023

Source: MAERSK Intermodal transportation is a popular term in logistics these days, having come full circle from the days of its first use all the way back in the 1780s. While the initial conception of intermodal transportation utilized horse-drawn carriages and soon lost popularity because of impracticality, the modern version is quickly becoming a critical component of supply chains all over the world due to its numerous advantages. Read on to learn why intermodal logistics might just be the most important development in logistics since the horse-drawn carriage. The definition of intermodal Intermodal transportation is the process of moving cargo using multiple methods of transportation including trains, trucks, ships and airplanes, without requiring additional handling of the cargo when changing modes of transport. This is made possible through the use of standardised containers, which allow easy transfer from one transport mode to another. For example, an intermodal shipment could be loaded onto a truck, passed off to a railway station, taken to a port and loaded onto a barge, eventually making its way to the destination country without ever changing containers. This would all happen with just a single customs inspection en-route. For imported goods, the opposite route works just

Comparative analysis of candidate mid-term GHG measures

29 mayo, 2023

Source: IMO An Expert Workshop on a “comparative analysis of candidate mid-term GHG reduction measures” to further support IMO’s considerations of candidate measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions took place at IMO Headquarters in London on 25 and 26 May. It included technical and economic elements of the proposed candidate mid-term GHG measures and, in particular, their feasibility, their effectiveness to deliver the long-term levels of ambition of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy and their potential impacts on Member States. The transition to alternative fuels and technologies is one of the greatest challenges in the shipping sector. The adoption of a global regulatory framework to reduce GHG emissions with GHG reduction measures set for the short-, mid- and long-term would contribute to achieving a green energy transition of the sector. IMO’s Marine Environment Committee (MEPC) is due to adopt a revised GHG Strategy at its 80th session in July 2023. A summary of the comments and observations made during the Expert Workshop will be submitted to MEPC 80. In March 2022, an IMO GHG working group requested the Secretariat to organize a dedicated ad-hoc expert workshop on candidate mid-term GHG reduction measures ahead of MEPC’s 80th session (3-7 July 2023). Current proposals on the
