That’s how our sea salts ‘fleur de sel’ arrived in London, with @RaybelCharters

The World Shipping Council 'containers lost at sea' 2020 report reveals that on average 1,382 containers are lost at sea every year. While there is evidence of a downward trend, One Apus lost over 1800 in a single incident in 2020. Is it time to rethink the current cargo model?

This is the kind of restoration work we need as we protect more of the world's ocean, land areas, and freshwater ecosystems.

The @IPBES #GlobalAssessment noted that almost 33% of reef-forming corals are threatened with #extinction
But in #Jamaica 🇯🇲divers are nurturing reefs back to life by growing individual baby corals in underwater 'nurseries'

🚢 LNG is a poisoned chalice for shipping: it increases GHG even compared to dirty HFO.
❌ EU must stop scapegoating shipping as land sectors slowly turning their back on fossil LNG

If you're a human who cares about any humans under the age of 40 you should be angry today.
For all that this government has been good on active travel to date (overall) - today has been a bad day for the future of those who want to not be killed by climate change.

Ships moved more than 11 billion tonnes of our stuff around the globe last year, and it’s killing the climate. This week is a chance to change bit.ly/2H7FdKq

I am going to be investing in @EcoClipper when the next investment round opens. Whilst the tonnage can't compete with a shop full of containers there is a market as such as @RaybelCharters is proving!

"What is sail cargo?
Although sailing ships have been used to transport cargo for thousands of years, sail cargo today is heavily influenced by the desire for an environmentally sustainable future and ethical consumerism."

@RaybelCharters Really enjoyed your exhibition yesterday, especially your beautiful film of the sailmaker. Here's the piece I mentioned about Christopher Huffam, godfather of Charles #Dickens and sailmaker

Historic moment as #ThamesSailingBarge WILL heads up #Thames to @StKatsMarina #London carrying cargo under sail - once there were 1000s of Sailing Barges carrying cargo & now there are none - until today!!

Yesterday @RaybelCharters and S/B Will was in the docks offloading goods to local merchants here in London, then departed heading off to their next port of call. 95 years old and still going strong, you can't a beat a good old Thames sailing barge to deliver your goods!!

Deck repairs on the Raybel today.
A bit worrying getting a blow torch to a historic boat but it should stop the rain from getting in for a while.

Gallant in Porto during a long two days of loading, a great amount of #sailcargo to get onboard. The ship has now set sail north, thanks to everyone who placed an order and helped make this voyage happen
