№Bloomberg's #Russian #Seaborne #Crude #Export #Update #Week #Ending #September 7th:

Russia’s crude shipments climbed to a three-month high, driven by bigger volumes from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, with intensified Ukrainian drone attacks causing widespread disruption to the country’s refining system and leaving more oil available for export.

Seaborne flows were about 3.34 million barrels a day in the period to Sept. 7 on a four-week average basis, a 4% gain from the period to Aug. 31

Watching a music video I created for the Dead Can Dance song "Seaborne." In the video, I used some of my own footage of my ocean travels, and also some living coral my sister and I watched at an aquarium -- one of our last outings together before she passed away from breast cancer. I mourn her, I mourn #coral, I mourn the oceans and all the living things our foolishness has destroyed.

The UK government Department of Transport have terminted their contract with Seaborne Ferries, after Arklow Shipping withdrew support from the "ferry" company.

So, the ferry company with no ferries and no port also has no contract. Seems fair.

£14m ferry contract with company that owns no ships terminated by government

A controversial no-deal Brexit ferry contract awarded to a firm with no ships has been cancelled by the Department for Transport.

This just gets better and better.

Neither of Seaborne Freight's proposed ports, Ramsgate (England) and Ostend (Belgium) will be ready for Brexit date (March 29th).

So, the company with no ferries and no experience also have no ports. That hasn't stopped the UK government from purchasing the "service".

You'll be familiar with the old meme, now updated for Brexit:

"...and if you believe that, I have a ferry service to sell you."
