Topic: Climate Regulations Are About to Disrupt Global Shipping (Read 249 times)
The ease of transactions in various countries today makes the shipping business the most promising, in my country the expedition company is supported by a very large fund and they invest, especially for land and sea transportation, it is natural that it has an impact, namely global warming, and of course prohibits or limits shipping not a solution the best to overcome global warming.
I did not know that maritime is producing 3% GHG emissions. which is too much. the reasons behind this emission seem legit as well as their proposed solution too. I am in favor of these solutions as they will reduce the environmental pollution that could cause enormous losses that we can't bear but we can bear a high price due to the shortage of fewer supplies of our items when these solutions will be implemented. The grading system is cool but I do not think that workers will find it in their favor, the target they set is promising and totally in favor of nature.
overall, these steps are great and i see no political interest of any party in that as the whole world will get benefit from these. in fact the production of the proposed ships will generate more jobs. No doubt, temporary spikes in economic behavior we can see but that will pass as these solutions will take around 6 to 7 years to be implemented, and by then who knows things might change.

It is not worth measuring all innovations by the interests of Russia or thinking that the whole world has taken up arms against it so much that everyone wants to destroy it by any means. Although, of course, there are already quite a few countries and peoples who want Russia to be completely destroyed. For those wars and deaths that Russia has unleashed over the past century, she deserves it.
Now our world is experiencing very rapid climate change and if emergency measures are not taken, then humanity may disappear from this planet. Therefore, harmful emissions into the atmosphere must be sharply reduced, as well as any harmful impact of human activity on nature. Relevant restrictions and changes will apply to all states, not just Russia.
I would guess even though they deserved it, they got a lot more in return than what the west got as well. Russia is a beautiful nation that I love, it is a great nation and the people in there are usually great people, obviously every nation in the world has terrible people in it, but regular people are always nice and welcoming and maybe due to soviet background but always have the mindset of even if they have just one loaf of bread, they are willing to share it with you if you are hungry too.Now our world is experiencing very rapid climate change and if emergency measures are not taken, then humanity may disappear from this planet.

However, Putin is a horrible person that should die as soon as possible, and yet nobody really put any sanctions on USA when they attacked Iraq or Afghanistan, that's a bit of the reason why I dislike Putin but also west as well.
The issue of global warming is getting stronger because many countries are now feeling the effects of global warming, sea water that continues to rise is a threat because it will make a lot of land disappear, if it is not stopped then bad things will continue to happen, and most of the causes of global warming are countries that are still using industry oil and gas.
I heard reviews saying that the bitcoin mining process adds to global warming, of course this review makes us laugh because the number of mining tools if collected will not have any impact on global warming.
Perhaps the new technical requirements for the maintenance of ships are associated with political motives.
At present, the supply of Russian hydrocarbons to the EU countries has sharply decreased. Currently, the Russian Federation sells oil and natural gas mainly to countries such as India and China. The supply of hydrocarbons occurs mainly not through gas pipelines, but by sea transportation on sea vessels - tankers.
Therefore, Russia needs a very large number of new ships. At the same time, as far as I understand, the country's need for tankers is so great that it is ready to pay for the reconstruction and modernization of ships that were not originally intended for such business activities.
In my opinion, the new technical requirements may be directed against Russia and are designed to strengthen the effect of the economic sanctions already imposed against it.

I have had a question for some time, which is the difficulty of having a global shipping fleet powered by nuclear energy? I believe that defining unified international paths and designing ships to be environmentally friendly is much easier than trying to restrict the global oil and gas situation.
The bad news is that when all these technical problems are resolved, the user is the one who will pay all the extra expenses, and there may be a delay in delivery time.
The problem with the use of nuclear energy has always been the safety of its use. Therefore, nuclear editors cannot be built in seismologically active areas of the area, in densely populated areas where accidents, fires, floods and other disasters often occur. If nuclear editors are placed on sea vessels, they will turn into floating atomic bombs. Humanity in general needs to think first of all about the consequences of applying technological progress, and then about profit, otherwise the current seventh or already the eighth civilization of people on this planet will not last long. The bad news is that when all these technical problems are resolved, the user is the one who will pay all the extra expenses, and there may be a delay in delivery time.
In short, unless an alternative fuel economy solution is found, current efforts will not succeed.
If the manufacturing of electric cars will get serious attention it can help as solution to huge carbon emissions from trucks and cars. All companies that are having to manufacture things are this guilty because they have trucks to use in taking raw materials to site and carry finished products, they all can be changed into electric cars and that reduction of gas hitting the ozone will sure go long way to stable climate change.
Why is Europe fighting global warming, while in Russia, China, India, Kazakhstan and other countries a lot of electricity is generated by burning coal and other resources?
They want to kill their economy with increased logistics costs.

In a sense, you can say "thank you" to Russia, which unleashed, almost a third world war, and a war of economic terror, through hydrocarbon energy sources such as oil and gas.
Until this year, the development of alternative energy sources was, to put it mildly, not very active, in relation to industrial solutions, such as sea / ocean transportation. Now the whole world has understood that oil and gas can and have become weapons of mass economic terror. I am sure that soon enough, we will observe the migration of super-heavy sea ships (dry cargo ships, container ships, etc.) to alternative technologies. Yes, it will take not 1 day, but years. But the world does not want to again become a hostage of the distraught "gas station". And it is logical to assume that it will drastically reduce emissions and other negative consequences of using internal combustion engines.

These climate regulation is untimely and would have a negative impact on both the maritime sector and the global economy in general. Switching to environmental friendly ships would cost a whole lot of money and I don't think most shipping companies have such money to spend. Does the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have any provision to support these companies financially as they switch to green energy? The most challenging part of it is that this regulations would definitely cause an increase in shipping cost which would be transferred to consumers. Citizens of most countries are already battling inflation and high cost of goods and services and adding more burden with this policy would not be a good decision. International Maritime Organization (IMO) and European Union should suspend the implementation of these policies until the world economy recover from this downturn.
Secondly, if we say that the struggle for the restoration of the natural environment is untimely and the transition to alternative energy sources will be very expensive, then humanity will never solve this pressing problem until it kills itself. We see how quickly the climate on our planet is changing. This problem should have been solved for a long time. We are already way too late with this transition. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of coal, oil and gas as direct energy sources as quickly as possible.
I'm from Europe, Greece to be exact, and have never heard of the IMO. I'll drop my two cents about energy sources, though. Climate regulations are what sparked the energy crisis, starting in August/September, by closing a large amount of coal plants in Europe in order to turn to renewable energy resources. I'm not against renewable energy, but there are numerous scandals in Greece about placing wind turbines on burned forests. It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it has been proven that huge corporations were interested in and had deposited proposals for creating wind farms in forests that would be burned in the near future.
Yes, a global transition to renewable energy is a moral imperative, and it is high time we start meeting the standards necessary to avoid crippling climate change. Emission caps can be increased substantially and still avert disaster but to achieve this, governments have a role to play and must take bold action. The time has come to consider more daring options.
The government should start the initiatives to alter their plans when it comes to using nonrenewable and renewable energies.
Global shipping is just one of the industries that do need to change some of their ways to address this climate change.
On this subject, we will expect that some goods will rise their prices. As that's one of the aftermath of the changes in the shipping industry.
Those rich people will always get their ways on using their private jets, so hard to call for them to change their lifestyle.
We need to accept the fact that climate change is real and it would devastate the human population if we don't act now.
No, I don't see this happening in light of the current circumstances. Basically, we are in a recession, and climate regulation to disrupt global shipping won't happen as to not hasten a depression.

But despite my expectations of there being few who would support measures which would likely raise prices and cause shortages of essential necessities in supply chains. I would guess there will still be a large number of people who will support these measures. Whether because they love the environment and consider it an extremely high priority. Or due to other reasons. That has been the trend I have observed so far.

Of course not. These folks don't understand that elevated prices always get passed to the consumers. Corporations are not inclined to eat the cost of climate change activism. In order to stay competitive, they will be forced to raise prices. I myself haven't ever heard of IMO but seems like another organization that's keen on social activism via climate change. Social activism doesn't cost them anything so it's easy to be sanctimonious, merely places a burden on other people.

Precisely. Post COVID supply chains still are under duress with demand issues and they choose now to implement these regulations. Incredible.
Just imagine how many private jets are burning so much fuel just to be of service to a select few. Meanwhile the rest of the world are scrambling to make ends meet everyday and deprive themselves of transportation that is comfortable enough for their standards. Perhaps look at those rich asshats first then talk about other industries next. Logistics and global shipping is improving their freighters, cargo airplanes, and ships just to accommodate with the growing demand, and perhaps it's time for the jet-riding, out of touch individuals to go economy or first class with their travels.
The other take on this is that the larger multinational shipping companies tend to have the newer more efficient ships . The smaller ones tend to be using older ones that the bigger companies sold off so they could sail the newer ones. So now the smaller companies can't sail, but the larger ones having the newer more efficient ships can take on the older more polluting ones since on average at that point their fleet meets the required goals.
Same way you can sell some big gas guzzling monster cars but so long as you have a bunch of econo boxes also your 'manufacturer fleet average' is good.
Just my view....
