Choosing the reduce plastics onboard
The composition of plastic makes it one of the greatest environmental and marine life threat. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO)warns that plastic litter presents a huge problem to our oceans and if left uncurbed, there will be more plastics than fish by 2050.
Our shipping industry abides to MARPOL Annex 5- Garbage from Ships that streamlines the waste and garbage management onboard marine vessels. It is safe to say that there are existing guidelines in place for proper handling of waste products for vessels to prevent marine pollution.
However, following guidelines is not enough to create sustainable

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/
Ocean Infinity is excited to announce plans for the next phase of its Armada fleet of robotic vessels with a signed contract for eight 78-metre, optionally crewed robotic vessels.
Designed for today's tasks but with tomorrow's in mind, these exceptionally fuel-efficient, onshore-controlled vessels will initially only utilise a skeleton crew onboard. In due course they will be capable of working with no personnel offshore whilst also consuming solely renewable fuel such as ammonia.
"The impact and the scale of this robotic fleet will spark the biggest transformation the maritime industry has seen since sail gave way to

A hotter and more humid world has made tropical cyclones like hurricanes and typhoons more extreme but not more deadly.
On Monday, a hurricane battered Nicaragua before moving across Central America, claiming at least 57 lives. The day before, on the other side of the world, one of the strongest storms to ever hit land struck the Philippines. Its house-ripping winds reached speeds of 310 km/h (195mph) — as fast as a Japanese bullet train — but only grazed the area around the capital, narrowly missing 14 million people.
The storms are yet another example of how extreme weather is becoming terrifyingly ordinary as the climate changes.
So many hurricanes formed in the Atlantic this season that the World Meteorological Organization exhausted its 21-name-strong alphabetical
