    The #climatecrisis has multiple negative effects on the maritime #biosphere.

    The rise in temperature in the sea gets most attention, but #oceanacidification is a major risk as well to the #maritime #ecology - threatening the stability of the #foodchain in the world's #oceans.

    Within this century the skeletons of maritime organisms, such as #corals, will be at risk to erode faster then they can be sustained. This will also affect #plankton which forms the basis of the maritime #food chain.

  12. A boat disturbs the water

    As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about. Still a lovely evening there, and it was about time to move on anyway. 🙂

    I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby.

  15. How can ships become cleaner? | #DW Documentary

    Soot, particle pollution and heavy fuel oil: freighters and cruise liners are real climate killers. It’s high time for a change of course on the seas. The film shows how both #innovations and tried-and-tested ideas can make shipping cleaner.

    Container ships supply people all over the world with goods, while #cruises attract millions of passengers every year. But ships also cause around three percent of global #greenhouse gas emissions.

    This is despite the fact that emission-free #maritime #trade has been possible for thousands of years - thanks to the wind. "We need to get back to sailing ships," says Captain Andreas Lackner. Fifteen years ago, the #Austrian and two friends put a sailing cargo ship into operation. The "Tres Hombres" has been working since 2010, transporting up to 40 tons of goods across the seas without an engine. The clipper ship takes cocoa and rum from the Caribbean to Europe, or 20,000 bottles of organic wine from La #Rochelle to #Copenhagen. "We’re closing the gap between fairly paid producers of organic goods and conscious consumers," says Lackner.

    Others have also rediscovered the power of the wind. Ralf Oltmanns from East Frisia sailed the world's #oceans at the age of 16, before founding an advertising agency. Now, 30 years later, the passionate sailor has developed a new twist on a century-old propulsion system in order to make large ships cleaner. The Flettner rotor, named after its inventor, Anton Flettner, is a type of sailing machine: a cylindrical structure that rotates in the wind to generate thrust. Oltmanns has used the original invention to create a modern product. "Depending on the size of the rotor and the wind conditions, a freighter can save between 5 and 25 percent on fuel," the 63-year-old calculates. The rotor could make both cargo and passenger ships more climate-friendly. Anna Braren was convinced by his idea: Her shipping company equipped its first ship with the Flettner rotor in 2021.

    With countless innovations and strict regulations, #Norway is leading the way in the transition to emission-free #shipping. The #Scandinavians are focusing on #electric motors and hybrid #technologies. #Climate change is already being felt in the #Norwegian Arctic - another reason why the government is getting serious. From 2026, only emission-free ships will be allowed to sail in #Norway's most beautiful fjords. And climate-friendly #tourist ships are already sailing along the traditional postal ship route.

  16. #Coastguard response times could quadruple under new plans

    Controversial new proposal from #Bristow’s a private, profit motivated company Tories contracted to #privatize the service

    Coastguard will have 60 min to launch after call is made

    Currently they have 15 min during day, 45 min at night

    This will risk lives

  17. ⚠️🇺🇦 #Ukraine ’s #maritime authority issues a notice to mariners that all Russian Black Sea #ports and approaches to them will be considered a

    “WAR RISK AREA” as of August 23.

    It means that all commercial vessels trading with #Russia should leave the #BlackSea in the next weeks.

    Reminder:

    1) Yesterday, Ukraine's naval drone attacked Russian base at #Novorossiysk and damaged 🇷🇺 warship
    2) Overnight, 🇷🇺 tanker was hit in Ukrainian waters near #Kerch.
