In the wake of COP21 the International Monetary Fund called for a carbon tax of $30 per tonne of CO2 emitted, but the International Chamber of Shipping strongly opposes this measure, stating a preference for further operational and technical emissions reduction efforts or a ‘fuel levy’ to be administered by the International Maritime Organization. We investigate the proposed measures and ask how the industry can get it right.
We also investigate what the fall of the Baltic dry index will mean for freight shipping and the global economy, take a look at Queensland’s ambitious port expansion projects, and find out about emerging applications for unmanned aerial vehicles in the maritime industry. Plus we take a look inside the UK’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution and find out how the ICS and the International Transport Workers’ Federation are working together to reduce shipboard harassment and bullying.

We ask industry insiders whether UK shipping would be better off inside or outside of the union.
