According to @LLIntelligence data over 140 boxships, with a combined capacity of nearly 750,000 teu, are waiting near the ports of Shanghai and Ningbo. Another 233,000 teu is at anchor off the Pearl River delta. That's almost 4% of the global box capacity in just two anchorages!
A large terminal in Ningbo, the world’s third busiest container port, has halted operations after a dock worker tested positive for coronavirus, adding strain to an already stretched logistics chain. lloydslist.maritimeintellige…

😂 yup - good Lord let’s not let LI go the way of FB that I now largely shun @HJBirkett
UPDATE: LinkedIn just showed me a video of a kitten trying to get inside a man's loafer, with the legend: "This is what determination looks like." [*death rattle*]
Trade Winds were kind enough to contact me about my tweets and I wrote this blog about my experiences of the #CrewChangeCrisis Please read and share this article if you can. Thank you so much for all of the words of support. So many people are affected by this issue.

Major new initiative to help resolve the global #crewchange crisis - free #seafarerwallet from #idflu to monitor #crewhealth #covid status in line with @IMOHQ guidelines @Nextlevelinfo @HJBirkett @NadkarniNamrata @Andrewcowderoy @CS3info @ITFglobalunion
#enoughisenough time to bring seafarers our #heroesofworldtrade home. #idflu are giving all seafarers a free #seafarerwallet to monitor #covidhealth inline with the #imo 12-Step Framework #crewhealth iti.idflu.co.uk/survey/regis… how quickly can we get this to 600k Stranded seafarers?
Indeed @HJBirkett - I’ve realised that Dougal from Father Ted is reincarnated as a recent real life character in that Four in a Bed B&B competition - strange times for sure

How amazing is this?
Shipping container farms come to London as growers ditch soil and look for innovative ways to grow & provide fresh produce amidst #COVID19 & #Brexit challenges - #farming #containers #perishables #coldchain #agriculture #Agritech #supplychain @fpcfreshtalk buff.ly/2Nm7Zqk
Enough is enough! #seafarer well-being imperilled by lack of global political coordination and ACTION needed now #BringThemHome #HeroesOfWorldTrade #KeepTradeFlowing @CS3info @Andrewcowderoy @Nextlevelinfo @ITFSeafSupport
Five out of six ships inspected by MCA surveyors today detained after concerns raised about crew welfare. #Tilbury #Bristol maritimecoastguard.blogspot.…

Couldn’t agree more with @SamChambers - now more than ever we need rigour, integrity and robust fact checking in our global maritime, logistics and supply chain news @Nextlevelinfo @TOCWorldwide @coollogistics
Here's a neat nutshell of what's wrong with maritime media today. First, there was one company reporting (a week late) on a new ammonia-powered ship design, except they said it was ALUMINIUM-powered in the header.3 days later, another title took the same incorrect headlined story

.@NadkarniNamrata how right you are. I’ve had exactly the same experience. Also that the broader #SupplyChain community, international media etc are becoming more tuned in to #seafarers #truckers and #transport people in general. Perhaps some good can come from all this!
It's been so interesting to have conversations with my non-shipping friends about how seafarers are keeping goods moving around the world. Normally I get boo-ed when I talk shop in social gatherings, but I'm actually being asked interesting questions about work right now
