1. Fight for survival – Indonesia rebelling against Green Agenda and Sulphur Cap
There aren’t many news left in shipping, which aren’t related to Climate Change Fight and IMO-made doomsday of the shipping, Sulphur Cap Regulation, coming into force in Jan next year. All of those news are highly irritating or outrageous, or plain insane, but there’s one I found spectacularly disgusting.
Shipping so-called “elite” lashed out at Indonesia, for its’ decision not to implement Sulphur Cap in coastal shipping. Indonesia, you see, is a 240-million Nation of 18000+ islands, with dozens of millions of Indonesians living on hundreds of islands, and thus, being totally dependent on coastal shipping. Implementation of IMO/UN Cap will trigger the disruption of lifelines supporting millions and millions of people, because Indonesia and its’ coastal shipping just can’t afford Sulphur Cap, it is that simple. http://maritimebulletin.net/2019/08/05/fight-for-survival-indonesia-rebelling-against-green-agenda-and-sulphur-cap/?fbclid=IwAR1i2Wu-i48NZDyq–19mLwrakETF206PpmVwLR88vux4NafVNSii7JcGJw

3. Iran seized offshore supply ship, not tanker UPDATE
Aug 5 Update: Confirmed photo and video of seized ship, still labeled as “tanker”, are genuine. It’s obviously, an old small offshore supply ship, probably converted into deck cargo ship to carry goods in the region. Iran changed its’ version, now it is fuel smuggling, not oil smuggling. The ship probably, doesn’t have AIS, its’ name blurred on photos and videos, most probably because Iran is too embarrassed to reveal ship’s details and value. Not daring to attack big tankers in waters closely watched by USA and allied Navies, Iran turned to safer hunting grounds and easiest to hijack ships. Circus goes on – what ships are next to be hijacked: dhows, yachts, fishing boats? http://maritimebulletin.net/2019/08/04/iran-seized-offshore-supply-ship-not-tanker/?fbclid=IwAR3m6c0YeMrXsgegeoC4NR-JZ6iS7Xh6w7dJrlm_qspf3-lu7IXeVKDcjcI
