The EU has rejected a ban on the use of heavy fuel oil (HFO), which many campaigners have referred to as ‘toxic’, especially in environments such as the Arctic. We ask how bad HFO really is and what can be done to make sure its effects are at least well managed.
We also find out more about the new shipping container lines collaboration, THE Alliance, which will cover East-West trade lines, ask why some European ports fare better than others in terms of transport emissions, and profile the complex plan to develop a trilateral free trade zone between India, Iran and Afghanistan, using the Port of Chabahar.
