Met de trein naar Indië

Voor de oorlog namen veel Indiëgangers de trein naar Genua (Genova) of Marseille om daar op de boot naar Indië te stappen. Of andersom op de terugweg natuurlijk, zoals dit bord aangeeft voor het traject Genua – Den Haag SS (Staatsspoor). Dat verkortte de zeereis naar Indië, die bij vertrek uit of doorreis naar noordelijker havens dagen langer was.

Sabang was een van aankomst-/vertrekhavens in Indië.

Urgent Spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces:

Sinking is the fate of ships that have been targeted in the past 72 hours for violating the ban on access to the ports of occupied Palestine.

  • The Verbena ship sinks in the Gulf of Aden after being hit by a number of missiles.

  • The TUTOR ship, which was targeted by a drone boat and a number of ballistic missiles and drones, is in danger of sinking in the coming hours.

  • This operation is dedicated by the Yemeni armed forces to our mujahid brothers in #Gaza on the occasion of Eid al-Adha and victory, and in recognition of their steadfastness and jihad, may God protect them and to all the free people of the Palestinian nation. It is only from God

Senior Maryland Pilot Warned Officials of Risk of Bridge Strike

A senior Maryland pilot raised concerns about the risk of an #collision between a big ship and the Francis Scott Key #Bridge at least as early as 2006, and continued to discuss the matter in local safety meetings for years, according to detailed records uncovered by the Washington Post.

The documents also show that at the staff level, the #Maryland Transportation Authority was aware that their bridge was "not designed to withstand collisions from large vessels," and that the cost of protecting it would be high.

Ook in Nederland zijn veel referenties aan de zeevaart te vinden zoals op deze gevel in Amsterdam. Op onderstaand beeld het schip van dichterbij. Dan vallen de geschutspoorten nog meer op. De koloniale expansie was vaak niet vreedzaam.

Schip in nood

Cascais (Portugal) 2023

Ook op de van Portugal bekende tegeltableaus (azulejos) is te zien dat het land de zeeën bezeilde. Dit schip schijnt in nood te zijn, gezien de rookwolken die eruit lijken te komen en de slagzij die het maakt.

First ship with humanitarian wheat shipment in 2024 leaves Ukraine

The Sky Gate bulk carrier is shipping 25,000 metric tons of wheat to #Nigeria.

The vessel is moving through the temporary #BlackSea corridor. The #shipping route was opened in August 2023, weeks after Russia's unilateral termination of the Black Sea grain deal threatened Ukraine's ability to ship out its grain.

Odesa port exports in January almost at pre-war levels

Over 20 million metric tons of cargo has been exported from these ports via Ukraine's temporary Black Sea corridor in the last six months, Kubrakov said.

The shipping route was opened in August 2023, weeks after Russia's unilateral termination of the Black Sea grain deal threatened Ukraine's ability to ship out its grain.

According to Kubrakov, 661 vessels have exported the cargo to 32 countries around the world. Of the 20 million metric tons, 14.3 million metric tons are agricultural products produced by Ukrainian farmers.
