Hey #history and #maritime and #shipping expert people:

Here's a dataset about #whaling with some variables I don't understand (neither do the students using it for an intro #statistics project). If you have any insight into what these variables/terms mean, will you share that?

  • Number of whales struck (does this mean "harpooned," maybe?)
  • Number of whales tried out (no idea)

The data are here:

An accord reached in London under the International #Maritime Organization [#IMO], a #UN agency, would require every ship that ferries goods across the oceans to lower their #GreenhouseGas #emissions or pay a fee.

The targets fall short of what many had hoped. Still, it’s the first time a global industry would face a price on its #climate #pollution no matter where in the world it operates. The proceeds would be used mainly to help the industry move to cleaner fuels.

At least 10% or 76 tankers of the Russian shadow fleet that regularly sails Baltic waters are insured via companies that do not exist.

Along a further 179 ships with the same fake 'insurance'.

If one of these decrepit ships damages anything or lets a shipload of oil into the sea, there is no coverage. Russian ships running around faux insured.

IMOs take action now! The basis for investigation and impounding. Is the lack of insurance justifying actions only at port ops or also during sailing?

There are a large number of grounds that could be argued in favor of inspections and detentions, and this is likely one of the stronger ones. You cannot play by the rules if the other side keeps breaking them without implications. Stop the russian terror ships ffs. original post from Auonsson ‪@auonsson.bsky.social‬

Norwegian fake insurance company working for Russian shadow fleet gets blacklisted after investigation by Danwatch.dk

UPDATE on the Russian fraud factory in #Norway. After our investigation, flag states across the globe are banning Ro Marine from their countries. Meanwhile the company keeps updating their database with new vessels seemingly carrying the fake and illegal insurance.

#Europe can no longer afford such security lapses. The economic criminality of Autocracy Inc. needs to become the focus of law enforcement.

From last Summer. At the BC Government House Music on the Lawns outdoor concert series.

With #Celtic #Scottish #musicians #friends in our local #Cookeilidh ( Cook - Kay - Lee ) band.

Cookeilidh has been delighting audiences for over 15 years with their high energy traditional, and modernized Celtic tunes. Comprised of 12-string guitar, electric bass, Irish flute, fiddle, bodhran, and vocals, they weave their own special blend of Trad with Attitude, Celtic Craic, and Pot O' Gold Folk!

Mixing the tunes of #Ireland and #Scotland, with a heaping spoonful of #Maritime flavour, and a dash of #Folk is their recipe for a modern day kitchen party!

Members and Instruments:

Dave Cook: Acoustic 12 String Guitar & Vocals
Woody Wilson: Irish Wooden Flute, Bodhran, & Bones
Tom Pogson: Electric Bass, Acoustic Bass & Vocals
Kim Cook: Fiddle, Percussion

Most are smiling. The group is gathered on a grassy field, and a crowd sits in folding chairs behind them. The person to the left has a long, pointed beard, and the person to the right is wearing a 'Celtic Nation Ireland' t-shirt.
