Canadian ports are among the first points of contact for international trade. Over the past couple of years, however, they have faced a series of labour tensions, with unionized workers often opposing modernization and automation efforts. Protests and labour disputes have taken place at both ends of the country, notably in Montreal, Vancouver, and Halifax. Workers in Montreal and Vancouver […]
Stakeholders in the maritime industry are increasingly considering fossil fuel substitutes such as hydrogen. Hydrogen, despite some potential uses, currently faces cost, infrastructure, and technological barriers to widespread maritime adoption. As regulations, technologies, and markets evolve, a range of lower-carbon approaches are emerging across the maritime sector, and it is important to note that fuel stock substitution is only one […]
A new study shows strong predicted demand from 2030, but almost no investment. The Government needs to take bold action to support ports to install much-needed onshore power supply to eliminate greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. Source: T&E
Facilitating some 700,000 jobs and more than 1.6 billion tonnes of annual trade, Australian ports see around 31,000 vessels each year and ensure the flow of $650 billion worth of trade. Australia’s exports are dominated by iron ore from WA and coal from Queensland and NSW, with other metals and minerals, and agricultural goods exported from a broader geographic base. […]
Over the next 25 years, shipping’s global regulator, the IMO, has committed to reach net zero GHG emissions and is on track to adopt globally binding policy measures this year (2025) to drive to that outcome. Headway on these mid-term measures was made in 2024 with the progressing of a draft text for the new regulations (a new chapter in […]
The Global Gateway Green Shipping Corridors (GGGSC) is an initiative by the European Commission to facilitate the transition to sustainable renewable and low-carbon fuels for international shipping. The analysis identifies four main options for sustainable renewable and low-carbon fuels, including bio-/e- methanol, bio-/ e-ammonia, e-hydrogen, and bio-/e-methane. These options have different technical and economic characteristics, and their selection will depend […]
This report looks at how the broad use of AI could help drive global decarbonization. The authors explore three specific levers demonstrating how it can help stakeholders across the freight logistics sector: through daily operating efficiencies, improving capacity utilization and transitioning to less carbon-intensive modes of transport. Taken together, our analysis suggests that acting on these levers could have significant […]
In the Indian Ocean along the East African coast, a resurgence of piracy is anticipated in 2025, facilitated by favorable weather conditions and a security vacuum left by the withdrawal of U.S. and EU naval forces. This follows recent pirate activities, including the use of hijacked fishing vessels as motherships, suggesting an increase in hijackings for ransom. Despite the Indian […]
Ports are facing emerging and increasing expectations from stakeholders and regulators to develop emissions inventories for all three Scopes of GHG emissions. Ports are complex facilities from an emissions accounting perspective, as they have many stakeholders with overlapping jurisdictions, and often act as a node in a value chain through which products pass, rather than having an active role in […]
