Episode 28: This Isn't Greenwashing

Episode 29: Fuel EU Maritime - A Primer

On 1 January 2025, Fuel EU Maritime reporting will go into effect.  While this has been a widely discussed topic for that last year +, I have a feeling that some aren't quite up to speed and therefore, aren't ready for what's coming down the channel with regards to calculations and how the shipping market into and out of EU ports will be impacted.  This podcast covers the basics of Fuel EU Maritime, the dates, what it is, the intent and will touch briefly on the expected costs.  I will be delving deeper into Fuel EU Maritime and the expected impacts on future episodes.  As always - we're here to discuss further, so just give a shout with any comments or questions.

Episode 28: This Isn't Greenwashing

News and headlines lead us to believe that all things are rosy on the pathway to net zero shipping.  But is everything as they say it is or should we all be looking a little closer?  (Hint - it's the latter). This Episode touches on the topic of Greenwashing as it relates to the shipping industry and the development of alternative fuels.

Episode 27: Green Seas Fuels Forum 2023 Recap

Episode 26: Spotlight on LNG Bunker Pricing

As we move towards more and more Dual-Fuel MGO/LNG ships on the water, spot LNG pricing and stemming is in our very near future.  This week we are covering the basics of LNG pricing along with a glimpse at gas volatility over the last year.  Are we finally entering into an era of LNG pricing competing with LSMGO?  It's looking like yes.

Episode 25: Collaborating for Success

It's easy to take a protective approach when it comes to sharing information in the bunkering industry.  Let's face it - it doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to trust and ethics.  I think there is room to change that, and in this week's episode we discuss why we believe in collaborating and sharing with your trusted counter-parties when you are planning your fuel requirements or looking at steps to take in preparation for IMO 2030/2050.
