De gevoelige meetapparatuur registreert direct hoeveel CO2, stikstofoxiden, roet en zwavel het containerschip uitstoot. Op een schermpje tonen kleurrijke lijnen die hoeveelheden in een diagram. ‘Hier zie je de uitstoot van zwavel.’ Van Roy wijst naar een donkergroene lijn die stevig fluctueert. Nog binnen de norm. Zwavel leidt in te grote hoeveelheden tot ernstige luchtverontreiniging – het is een belangrijke veroorzaker van zure regen en gezondheidsproblemen. Het vormt fijnstof dat diep doordringt in de longen en aandoeningen kan veroorzaken aan de luchtwegen. Het kan ook leiden tot hart- en vaatziekten.
MV Yara Birkeland is an autonomous 120 TEU container ship carrying fertilizer between ports at Herøya and Brevik in Norway. The Yara Birkeland was designed to serve as a proof of concept for a fully autonomous ship capable of global travel and with multiple functions from industrial site operations to port operations.
“The average cost of shipping a 40ft container from eastern China to the US west coast at short notice rose from less than $2,000 to a peak of $9,699 ... In the 3 years from 2020 to 2022, the industry generated as much profit as it had during the previous 6 decades combined”

Article, Why the future of global trade is digital https://ship.nridigital.com/ship_sep22/future_trade_global_shipping_data
Data sits at the heart of global trade. How it is generated, held, used, and exchanged has an enormous impact on the productivity and sustainability of container shipping processes, the experience of shipping customers, and the industry’s ability to innovate and improve. Digitalising data and enabling its seamless exchange between all stakeholders is key to mitigating the impacts of current and future supply chain disruption and ensuring a future in which shipping customers have a choice of seamless, easy-to-use services that provide the flexibility to meet their business and sustainability goals.

Compulsory container markings must be used on all containers visible on the door. Each of those markings plays a significant role in transportation and is important for the monitoring and general safety of a container. Let’s have a look at each of these container markings individually to get an idea what they mean.
BIC code lookup https://www.bic-code.org/bic-codes/
The international register of identification codes for container owners was originated by the Bureau International des Containers (BIC) and has been published continually since 1970. It was subsequently adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1972, forming an essential part of the ISO 6346 standard : « Freight Containers – Coding, Identification and Marking ». This standard also describes technical markings such as size and type code, country code and various operational marks.

In 2006, Maersk stunned the global shipping community with the introduction of Emma Maersk, a container ship that could carry nearly 15,000 twenty-foot equivalent units. (TEUs translate to about half of a standard forty-foot shipping container.)
Emma Maersk set off an “arms race” with its introduction. Ocean carriers ordered bigger and bigger ships, believing that they could reach economies of scale if they could jam all their shipments into one big boat instead of a few small ones.
Today, we’ve appeared to reach peak Big Boat Era. The Emma Maersk is now wimpy next to 2022’s true megaships. The largest container ships to be delivered this year have a maximum capacity of 24,000 TEUs. (This class of ship is named — I am not making this up — the “Ever Alot.” The Evergreen shipping company, the very same that blocked the Suez Canal last year, ordered the record-breaking ship.)
Each year brings a new, larger-than-ever megaship. The largest ship class of a given year has increased by 50% from 2012 to today, or nearly sixfold from 1981 to today.
