This short white paper looks at the subject of moving containers via the River Networks and introductions of more inter coastal feeder service operations. North America has an amazing river network and although used extensively for bulk and non-containerized project cargo it’s still an untapped market for moving containers along it. Perhaps its time to evaluate the potential for such […]
Vessels operating in the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean remain at a high risk of piracy, coupled with a risk of vessel damage due to the ongoing conflict in this region. The waters of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Somalia, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean remain a high-risk area and heightened vigilance is recommended. […]
This analysis focuses on the LNG, methanol, and ammonia fuel pathways and compares their compliance costs against the default of using VLSFO (very low sulphur fuel oil). The study indicates that LNG, methanol, and ammonia dual-fuel engine technologies can reduce compliance costs compared with VLSFO, with LNG dual-fuel vessels providing a significantly lower cost compliance solution. The basis for this […]
The freight market is being shaped by an intricate web of geopolitical challenges that create uncertainty and disrupt traditional trading patterns. To complicate matters further, the global shipping fleet urgently requires modernisation to align with ambitious green targets, including carbon-neutral initiatives and compliance with evolving environmental regulations. The freight market is being shaped by an intricate web of geopolitical challenges […]
Industry participants are preparing for three key disruptions next year: ‘Tariffs implications’, ‘Geopolitical risks and war implications’ and ‘structural overcapacity’, which could keep rates volatile and market uncertain. In Vietnam, average container prices surged sharply in the second half of 2024, driven by rising demand and constrained capacity. Prices in Haiphong increased by an average of 42% between March and […]
Until now nuclear power has been used for ships mainly for military purposes and for the propulsion of icebreakers in the Arctic. However, at European level, nuclear energy has been identified as a sustainable source of energy able to assist in meeting the zero-emission goal of the EU and therefore is eligible to green sustainable financing. Nuclear power has zero-emission […]
Shipping is a crucial component of this value chain where CO2 needs to be transported across vast distances between points of capture and utilization or sequestration. Shipping offers economic advantages when captured CO2 need to be transported over long distances, compared to pipelines. However, cross-border transport of CO2 requires an effective cross-border framework to properly account abated emissions. The significance […]
Global trade is expected to maintain its upward trajectory in the second half of 2024. Trade in goods increased by approximately 1.5 per cent quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) in Q3, while services trade grew by around 1 per cent. According to the UNCTAD nowcast, this positive momentum is expected to continue into Q4. As a result, global trade is set to exceed […]
A major upheaval is in preparation in the world of shipping alliances, which have not been substantially modified since 2017. The three main alliances currently bring together 10 major global shipping companies. From February 2025 on, however, they will be organised differently. February 2025 will mark the start of a restructuring of the global container shipping market around four main […]
