@CarrotCanary @VerizonSupport Confirm that. Got through on phone and was advised service not likely restored until 3:45 pm!!

It’s so easy to accuse ocean carrier alliances of predatory behavior. The hard part is accepting the reality that breaking them up means even further consolidation, fewer ports called and vastly reduced service to shippers. Not surprising a backlash is building

Glad to see the container liner sector joining forces to urge the @IMOHQ for concrete regulation to accelerate the transition to #greenenergy. Thanks @WSC_shipping for taking the lead in putting us all together. #shipping #decarbonisation #ParisAgreement #maersk

We are setting up a dedicated team to accelerate our #decarbonisation efforts. In 2018, A.P. Moller-Maersk launched the ambition of having #netzero CO2 emissions from operations by 2050. It is a challenging target to reach but clearly possible. #Alltheway #Maersk #ClimateAction

Let no one think today’s occupation of the Capitol is just another protest in Washington. It isn’t. We have had many large protests in DC. THIS is an assault on the world’s greatest symbol of democracy by persons who call themselves patriots. By their action they aren’t patriots.
