Mit Wind und Sonne von Südkorea auf die Marshallinseln – Die Reise der SV Juren Ae Im Juli 2024 sticht die SV Juren Ae in See: ein neu entwickelter Segelfrachter für emissionsarmen Gütertransport im Pazifik. Die Überfahrt führt von Geoje in Südkorea über 6.500 km bis nach Majuro auf den Marshallinseln – mit an Bord: Projektleiter Raffael Held und eine neunköpfige Crew. Vier Wochen lang erleben sie Wind, Wellen und Wetter hautnah. Das Video zeigt den außergewöhnlichen Weg des klimafreundlichen Schiffs über den Ozean – mit Herausforderungen und Highlights einer echten Langstreckenfahrt unter Segeln. Die SV Juren Ae ist ein Vorreiter für Low Carbon Sea Transport und nachhaltige Schifffahrt zwischen Inselstaaten – fast emissionsfrei, robust und richtungsweisend. https://www.giz.de/de/weltweit/124295.html Abonnieren Sie hier unsere Kanäle: GIZonlineTV: https://www.youtube.com/user/GIZonlineTV Aus der Arbeit der GIZ: http://www.youtube.com/@ourworkatgiz_gmbh Auf unseren beiden Kanälen bieten wir Einblicke in unsere Arbeit weltweit.

MEPs must present a united front, and support much greater welfare measures for animals in this sector! During #SeaTransport alone, animals are in danger of:

❌ No longer being protected by EU laws once leaving the EU's shores
❌ The absence of critical monitoring + enforcement measures

This sad situation demonstrates once again the risks of #SeaTransport. ❌🌊

The EU cannot ensure the safety and welfare of animals once they leave the EU's shores.

In this case, thousands of animals were stranded in unacceptable conditions, and undoubtedly endured severe suffering.

[4/4] L’équilibre offre-demande reste fragile, mais la géopolitique devient un allié inattendu pour les exploitants de porte-conteneurs. Entre reroutages stratégiques et flottes maximisées, le marché montre que les crises globales redéfinissent les flux maritimes. #geography #seatransport

[3/4] Le reroutage a généré +20% d’EVP-km en 2024, et les taux de fret ont bondi de 40%. La ligne Asie-Europe, gourmande en capacités, a absorbé 60% des 3M EVP ajoutés à la flotte mondiale. La "pénurie artificielle" est causée par des décisions stratégiques des armateurs. #geography #seatransport

[1/3] La géopolitique booste le transport maritime : +10,6% de flotte conteneurisée en 2024, mais un reroutage massif via le cap de Bonne Espérance pour éviter la mer Rouge a maintenu une offre serrée. Résultat, presque toute la flotte est en service (0,6 % inactive). #geography #seatransport
