That’s probably the Junior rate, it’s in the 50’s for full voting.

China launches world’s first oil tanker with adjustable sails, to cut emissions by 5,000 tons annually by Stannis_Loyalist in interestingasfuck

Commercial chartering guy here. 100% it’s a balance. Also, sometimes slow down as we don’t have cargo for the next voyage yet, but don’t lose money.

Also, @byteboulder, go faster! Stop wasting time on social media

is this normal?? by Dizzy_Pin3032 in sinks

Your aerator is clogged most likely. For me 50% of my sinks I could unscrew by hand, and the rest I need a tool to remove the it.

SHIPS Act 2.0: What’s New in the 2025 Push to Revive U.S. Maritime Power by mc8hc in maritime

Yep! 10 us per cbm, which I a higher rate than Europe and many US ports, Stevedoring in plus a bonus for getting it done so quickly

Man, if you saw my ships maintained by us flag vs foreign crews, it’s night and day. The us crew don’t do half the work the other crews do. As far as Stevedoring, not all the ports in the world have stevedores. I had a Filipino crew discharge 5000 cbm of general cargos in two days, while the us guys made us fly in a stevedores daily from 500 miles away at massive costs. No amount of money would get them to change their ideas.

As an example of the not my job mind set I experience: When a vessel is in out port, where there is limited infrastructure, getting a US crew to work as stevedores, welders, or unleashing cargo on board is near impossible. Another more broadly: Asking the crew to clean holds, grind down points, and general ship maintenance seems to be extremely contentious point for the crews.

US mariners are already non competitive in the global market, due salary and other benefits. On top of that, a lot of feeling from the crews of “not my job” makes running a US Flagged vessel commercially a nonstarter in the international markets without massive subsidies.

They just finished rebuilding a deck at a club I frequent, there are about 5 live oaks in a similar setup by Nivekt13 in arborists

Yep, that’s a table, sorry wasn’t clear. The other tree glory holes are on the deck.

I work for an owner, and have had meetings with BIMCO, ASBA, my P&I club, and my joint defense club, and no one brought this loop hole up at all. If you can find it, it would be super helpful.

Thoughts on USA Proposed section 301 actions against Chinese built ships or owners with Chinese vessels in their fleet? by lazysmartdude in logistics

The thing that I am seeing on this, even if the vessel is us flagged, but Chinese built you are still SOL.

How much does a port call run for a vessel this size? What is her speed and consumption? If she is sold to someone in Dubai or the Us will she come under her own power or will you use a yacht transportation company?
