The implementation of a move to full electronic certification is the natural extension of this amenity and fulfils the requirements of IMO FAL.5/Circ.39/Rev.2 guidelines for the use of electronic certificates. https://cyprusshippingnews.com/2021/03/24/full-complement-of-the-bahamas-maritime-authority-documentation-now-available-electronically/

4. Supply chain decarbonisation: What corporations must consider
New research published earlier this year shows how tackling supply chain emissions can be a game-changer in the worldwide battle against climate change. Net-Zero Challenge: The Supply Chain Opportunity from the World Economic Forum and the Boston Consulting Group looks at the top eight worldwide supply chains that produce more than 50% of global greenhouse (GHG) emissions. They find that several corporations can multiply their climate impact by focusing on supply chain decarbonization. https://cyprusshippingnews.com/2021/03/24/supply-chain-decarbonisation-what-corporations-must-consider/

6. Suez Canal blocked by stranded Evergreen boxship
An ultra large container ship operated by Evergreen ran aground on the Suez Canal on Tuesday, blocking traffic on one of the world’s most important waterways. A picture taken by crew onboard another ship in the canal, the Maersk Denver, shows the 2018-built 20,388 teu Ever Given, which was en route from Shenzhen to Rotterdam, blocking the canal in both directions after it got stuck near the Red Sea entrance of the canal.

7. No jab, no job threat could provoke next crew crisis
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has warned that lack of access to vaccinations for seafarers is placing shipping in a ‘legal minefield’, while leaving global supply chains vulnerable. A legal document due to be circulated to the global shipping community later this week by ICS highlights concerns that vaccinations could soon become a compulsory requirement for work at sea because of reports that some states are insisting all crew be vaccinated as a pre-condition of entering their ports.

8. Who will win shipping’s battle for data?
Organisations that have capitalised on the true value their data are reaping the benefits – 5 of the top 6 valued companies in the world are data companies.
