PORTS, CARGO & PASSENGERS

MECHANIZATION - Container ship unloading in a Dutch port.
Imagine a world with total Free Trade. No restrictions on goods exchange and no import duty taxes - with supply and demand being the limiting factors. That utopian situation is unlikely to occur in our lifetime until world politics advances to a higher plain. That might help reduce complications and administrative carbon.
Governments though, love taxes and sanctions. They don't want cheaper goods flooding their markets and fear the equality that would mean as an end game. They do though want the goods. For example, we could do without bananas, tea and coffee, but we want those goods for variety and they would be much more expensive (or even impossible) to produce locally. Every part of the world is thus a unique contributor to society, even where factories to produce electronic goods could be located anywhere, they are not. They are located conveniently to sources and transport.
PASSENGERS
But what of tourism and immigration. If there were no borders or controls, there could be widespread chaos as people congregated in supposed areas of prosperity, that would then collapse due to the logistical impossibility of supplying an intensely populated area, not to mention the strain on housing. Loosely speaking human population spread should be geared to the ability of the land to provide food locally and the practicality of building homes. All of which relies on a sustainable transport network.
For these reasons, though passenger travel is to be encouraged where the transport medium is zero carbon, tourists should return to their native homes to maintain a sustainable geographical population spread.
OOSTENDE - It takes a lot to support the offshore energy industry. Belgium has 232 wind turbines in the North Sea that make a significant contribution towards their renewable energy targets. Together, they are responsible for generating enough electricity to supply no fewer than 750,000 families. And more of them are on the way. Ultimately, the aim is to achieve a total of 450 wind turbines with a total capacity of 770 TWh, yielding an annual electricity supply of 8,085 TWh, the equivalent of 9.5% of electricity consumption in Belgium.
PORTS & DOCKYARDS
Ignoring the above for now, we are looking for ports and docks that can handle cargo and passengers more efficiently, the main reason for having docks and passenger terminals.
Ports are one of the driving forces for economic activity of any country. They need to be adaptable and
connected for sustainable blue growth.

LLOYD'S REGISTER - Lloyd’s Register (LR) and Shipping in Changing Climates released Low Carbon Pathways 2050 – a new study that details a number of potential pathways for the shipping industry’s transition to a low carbon future. The report underlines the need for shipping to start its decarbonisation imminently – as stringency increases over time, increasingly high-cost mitigation steps are required. The later we leave decarbonisation, the more rapid and potentially disruptive it will be for shipping.

MARINE LIFE - This humpback whale is one example of a magnificent animal that is at the mercy of human activity. Humans are for the most part unaware of the harm their fast-lane lifestyles are causing. We aim to change that by doing all we can to promote ocean literacy.
