I've trying to find the #tanker that some news outlets are still reporting is stuck across the #Suez canal. Is it wedged under the #EVERGIVEN do you think?
I've just waiting for some numpty to speculate that the Master of #EVERGIVEN was trying to get closer to the east bank of the #Suezcanal to get a better Wi-Fi signal. 🤪
I'm trying to think of a really good visual metaphor for all the challenges in #shipping over the last 12 months Anyone got a suggestion? Oh... wait... #EVERGIVEN
Ha! Proving there is no subject that can't be taken and used to score political points locally. At least non-shipping people are talking about #shipping stuff.
#EVERGIVEN
With the #EVERGIVEN running aground athwart the #suez canal, this is the perfect time for any of the big shipping bodies to explain how central #shipping is to our everyday lives. If #ships stop, everything as you know it stops. #maritime

Decades of sea-going experience + anti-piracy knowledge have gone into the design decisions behind our award-winning anti-piracy barriers.
But two decisions remain yours.
1) How much you want to protect your #crews + #ships from #piracy?
2) Will you call us for details?

@PatneVinod@BIMCONews#Ships should sound their whistles everyday, until the noise gets so LOUD that it cannot be ignored any longer. #Shipping needs to demand attention on behalf of all #seafarers. Action is needed on the #crewchangecrisis. We won't get that until the world is paying attention.
Seafarers have worked hard to keep the global supply chains going during the pandemic – some have been at sea for more than 15 months. They deserve a break. #blowyourhorns#shipping#COVID19
I don’t remember ever having a more intimidating job than this – running the safety meeting in preparation for arriving in Brazil:
All eyes on me as I attempt to unite a tired, overdue crew with a range of ideas about COVID, on our measures to avoid it.
THREAD:
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) and Global Cruise Lines have reached an agreement that will see crew continue to be repatriated over the coming days.
