  3. On enchaîne sur le #musee #maritime, qui comprend 3 #bateaux et des espaces d'#exposition.
    Parmi les bateaux, le plus intéressant est le France I, une ancienne station #meteo dans l'#ocean atlantique, qui a transmis les relevés météo de 1959 à 1985. Le navire a été sauvé de la casse par la ville de #LaRochelle.
    Il y a aussi un chalutier et un remorqueur, tous classés #MonumentsHistoriques.
    On finit par un hommage à l'émission Thalassa et à son créateur Georges Pernoud.

    [“consequences”, fascinating, illuminating and scary frankly!!]
    “The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East are causing substantial humanitarian, economic, and geopolitical impacts and disrupting global trade. While the human and economic effects remain the focus of most immediate concern, a pending ecological crisis is also unfolding. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz on February 28, 2026, stranded an estimated 1,500 ships in the Persian/Arabian Gulf, with hundreds more anchored in the Gulf of Oman. Prolonged stationary periods lead to substantial biofouling penalties for ships, as marine microbes, algae, and invertebrates rapidly colonize and grow on submerged surfaces. This accumulation not only impairs vessel operations but also creates significant environmental risks. A major concern is the high likelihood that these idle ships will facilitate the extensive spread of economically and ecologically damaging invasive species as they re-enter the global shipping network. Given the unprecedented scale and duration of this mass lay-up of ships, conditions are primed for a large-scale, marine bioinvasion “super-spreader” event as regular maritime trade in the region resumes. The combination of extensive biofouling growth and species accumulation, and the sheer number, size, and global reach of affected vessels, has created an immense international biosecurity threat. Here, [they] highlight the biosecurity risks arising from the closure of the Strait and provide recommendations to mitigate them. [They] urge relevant stakeholders worldwide, including ship operators, port authorities, and environmental managers, to prepare now for the backlog of ship biofouling management requirements and to implement appropriate actions to abate this extraordinary biosecurity threat...”

  11. 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.

  12. ⚠️🇺🇦 #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.
