Q88

"...In today's environment, there is a proliferation of data, but a scarcity of information. And you have so many sources, some good some bad. If you're in an organization that's consuming data, you first need to understand how it's gathered, how its maintained and what the quality level is, is it validated. And as you cross those thresholds, the real question becomes 'how do you distill it down to the operational decisions you need to make?'" Russ Hubbard, our Chief Commercial Officer, sat down with Tradewinds during Posidonia to discuss "Context beyond the contract". He went on to say: "The rich data that's out there in the industry became something [our clients] wanted to see in context as they were looking at through the contract and the operations side."

The increasing shift toward decarbonization is proving to have a positive outlook for the dry bulk sector as steel, iron-ore, and other energy sources are projected to surpass coal and stand for more than one-third of global electricity generation by 2025. "Based on the IEA forecast, our analysis indicates that the advantages stemming from the expansion of renewable energy capacity may outweigh the negative effects of diminished coal demand,” shares Senior Shipping Economist Mikkel Nordberg. Read the full whitepaper, “When Global Warming Cools Down, Dry Bulk Heats Up,” to learn how decarbonization will affect dry bulk volumes and ton-mile demand in the short and long term: https://hubs.ly/Q02qDYBk0 #Decarbonization #DryBulk #IronOre #SustainableShipping #Veson

The intensifying focus on climate change and decarbonization is increasing the importance of replacing coal with renewable energy sources, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates a substantial reduction in coal demand in the coming years. Given that coal is an important driver for dry bulk demand, this shift is likely to bear negative consequences for dry bulk owners. However, the green transition requires a considerable upswing in renewable energy capacity to replace coal, prompting a surge in the construction of solar panels and windmills. The construction of these green technologies requires substantial quantities of steel, iron ore, and other dry bulk commodities, which could boost demand in the dry bulk sector. Understand key decarbonization demand drivers and their impact on dry bulk ton mile demand by reading our Senior Shipping Economist Mikkel Nordberg's latest whitepaper.

Charterer-specific questionnaires, terminal questionnaires, berth questionnaires, PSC inspection outcomes, TSMA certificates, SIRE reports, classification documentations, officer matrices. The list goes on. Shoreside technical and commercial teams are inundated with demands for paperwork, which are only increasing as tighter risk, compliance, and sustainability regulation becomes the new normal. Q88 hosts over 1300 questionnaires and templates, guaranteeing users can find what they need. But more than that: owners can review fleet-wide deficiencies and issues, allowing them to implement preventative maintenance plans to reduce time off-hire before issues occur.
