Final call for the single use plastics in shipping survey

We would love to understand what positive action companies are taking to reduce plastics – as well as learning what the barriers might be to making changes. We believe that understanding the current state of play with regards to plastics on board is fundamental to allow us to make and monitor the effectiveness of any changes

BIMCO was proud to celebrate World Maritime Day on Thursday 29 September

The theme this year was "New technologies for greener shipping".

“The path to low and zero carbon shipping is far from straightforward. Progress in finding new technologies and new fuels is significant, but we are not there yet. At BIMCO we are working to help the industry make sense of highly complex regulations and working tirelessly on developing products which will serve as the contractual backbone as regulations change and new obligations must be faced,” David Loosley, BIMCO Secretary General & CEO

“There is No Turning Back on the road towards greener shipping.”

CHINA SOYBEAN IMPORTS DROP 6.2% Y/D, POTENTIAL SHORT-TERM RECOVERY AHEAD

On 26 September, soymeal prices in China surged 8% to CNY 5,500 (USD 739) per tonne compared to Monday last week. Following a jump in demand ahead of China’s national day on 1 October some crushers have had to stop production due to a shortage of soybeans. This could signal a recovery in imports after months of lacklustre demand and high soybean prices which have caused a 6.2% y/y drop in soybean imports so far in 2022
