🧊 Arctic Route Emerging as Strategic Alternative for Shipping 🌌 The Arctic route is gaining attention as a strategic shipping alternative. This route offers potential advantages in terms of distance and time. However, challenges related to environmental impacts persist. Stakeholders are exploring the viability of this emerging shipping lane. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gZ3TjVip #Business #Asia #Shipping #Arctic #Alternatives

Described as one of the biggest-ever threats to New Zealand's marine life with potential impacts to affect the entire food chain. Exotic invasive Caulerpa, (aka: Killer Algae) is the most serious marine incursion seen in New Zealand. It grows at speed over the seabed, smothers and kills all sealife beneath it. The resulting carpet of Caulerpa means fish, shellfish and kelp have little chance of survival. Big industries such as fishing and tourism are at direct risk. Government inaction with Andrew Hoggart saying it can't be eradicated from our waters is disturbing t say the least. Responses to date have been totally inadequate. The New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) an independent economic consultancy has stated natural capital value of NZD$40-100 billion dollars worth of economic losses is directly on the horizon - an estimated potential annual income loss of @NZD$5 billion dollars and that's just for the Hauraki Golf alone! If Caulerpa reaches the Ports of Auckland - economic losses will go national & colossal. Californian Ports will certainly not accept New Zealand ships carrying Caulerpa after what they've been through. Monaco's losses in the 80's where completely devastating - with sea life stocks cut in half in just 6 years. New Zealand's will be even more so. This needs serious and immediate government direct action in order to wipe it out at scale! #Caulerpa #NZIER #LiveOcean #Sunday #OneNews

Arctic Shipping Sets New Records With Hundred Transit Voyages Carrying 3m Tonnes of Cargo in 2024 09-12-2024 The ever-evolving landscape of global shipping continues to witness significant developments. Recently, an intriguing incident came to light where a tanker hauling Russian crude from the Baltic Sea to India was observed heading toward the Shetland Islands, a route that would have taken it on a detour around the northern tip of the UK. However, in a surprising move, the tanker made a sudden turn and instead took a more-typical journey through the English Channel. This incident raises important questions about the changing dynamics of the global shipping industry. The increasing demand for efficient and cost-effective routes has led to a surge in the number of vessels opting for the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and other Arctic routes. However, this trend also poses significant challenges, including harsh weather conditions, limited infrastructure, and potential environmental concerns. As the industry continues to navigate these complexities, it is essential to prioritize responsible and sustainable shipping practices. The benefits of Arctic shipping, including reduced transit times and lower emissions, must be weighed against the potential risks and consequences. By doing so, we can ensure that the growth of Arctic shipping is managed in a way that benefits both the environment and the economy.
