China's first and the world's largest all-electric intelligent container ship launched commercial operations in #Zhejiang province on Wednesday. With a capacity of 742 TEUs, the vessel runs on 20,000 kWh of battery power, saving 580 tonnes of fuel and cutting CO2 emissions by over 1,400 tonnes annually. 🔋🌊#TechChina #GreenChina

Ever looked up at ship funnels belching fumes and wondered if things could be better? Thanks to @CleanShippingCo @_Oceanbird_ @UCL_Energy for your insights -

The carbon tax on vessels is a part of @IMOHQ GHG strategy to phaseout carbon emissions via operation, technical and market based measures. The carbon tax will go to a net zero fund which will be used for decarbonization of the industry, similar to that of Montreal Protocol.
President Trump: I am outraged that the International Maritime Organization is voting in London this week to pass a global Carbon Tax. The United States will NOT stand for this Global Green New Scam Tax on Shipping, and will not adhere to it in any way, shape, or form. We will not tolerate increased prices on American Consumers OR, the creation of a Green New Scam Bureaucracy to spend YOUR money on their Green dreams. Stand with the United States, and vote NO in London tomorrow!

If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas!! buff.ly/dpTrSpO
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

The United Nations #shipping agency @IMOHQ is on the cusp of introducing binding regulations to phase out fossil fuel use in global shipping — with the world’s first-ever global emissions levy on the table. cnb.cx/43MirzN

Introduced to clean the air, scrubbers are far from being the solution to shipping pollution. Thanks to everyone who helped me to understand more about this technology and its limitations in my latest @DialogueEarth_

The maritime industry is at a turning point 🚢
To achieve net-zero by 2050, @IMOHQ must adopt the first-ever legally binding carbon price for shipping.

🚢 $300bn in profits. 1bn tonnes of emissions. Just 9.7% paid in taxes.
As countries prepare to debate a global levy on shipping emissions at the @IMOHQ, our new report exposes shipping giants’ record profits while climate costs go unpaid.

It’s important you understand this.
The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation.
This was done in defiance of our American courts that deemed the action illegal.
They could be legal residents. They could be innocent bystanders. They could be asylum seekers. For all we know, they could be U.S. citizens.
Now, they’re trapped in one of the most violent prisons on Earth, enduring brutality beyond what most of us can imagine.
If you don’t find this morally repulsive, then you are morally repulsive.

"Without a ban on discharge of scrubber wastewater — or a mandate to use cleaner distillate fuels — ecosystems, ocean resources and coastal communities will continue to be threatened & human health risks will increase. "

@IMOHQ This is a make-or-break year for #shipping to clean up its act. We need:
💸an ambitious levy
💚a shift to clean, zero-emission fuels
⚓energy efficient vessels.
It is time for the shipping dinosaurs to leave the fossil-fuel era behind and focus on alternative solutions.
