Since they were first introduced in the mid-2000s, floating storage, regasification and storage units (FSRUs) have become increasingly popular for their flexibility.

One of von der Leyen’s aims is to expand protected zones in Antarctica, whose ecosystem is “essential to the health of our oceans.” While support has grown over the last years, two member states of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) are still blocking a decision, she said. https://gcaptain.com/eu-along-with-13-other-countries-form-coalition-to-protect-ocean-biodiversity/

7. Micronesia Follows Marshall Islands Out Of The PIF Alliance

9. Black Sea exports plummet as talk of war escalates

Ukrainian officials denounced Russian naval drills off its Black Sea coast last week, saying the presence of warships made navigating the busy trade route “impossible”. Traders have so far been more cautious in their assessment, but data from VesselsValue shows a visible impact on trade volumes.

10. All-Inclusive Rates Remain Largely Stable, But Could See Upside In March

All-inclusive rates during the week ending Feb. 11 on the North Asia-to-North America lane were largely flat against last week’s indications as post-Lunar New Year demand began to pick up and market participants eye potential increases in late February and March. And despite generally easing port congestion in the US, sources say stocks of rolled cargoes have jumped in North Asian-loading terminals, as carriers prioritize premium cargoes, which will put renewed pressure on available capacity. https://www.shippingtribune.com/news/shipping/All-inclusive+rates+remain+largely+stable%2C+but+could+see+upside+in+March
