Regulations on the disposal of food wastes in Chinese waters:
Members with ships calling at Chinese ports or sailing off Chinese waters are recommended to ensure that their crew are briefed, and coordinates of the baseline are plotted on the chart to visually display the area(s) prohibited from discharge, and to avoid violations due to the distance between vesselâs position and the nearest territorial sea baselines fail to comply with discharge requirements.

Hope the US Navy read this forum so they donât risk getting fine for dumping food waste in Chinese waters when they do their âFreedom of Navigationâ operations in the Taiwan Strait.
PS> The spy ships and submarines on stealthy operations probably have more sense than to dump garbage when in Chinese waters.

As market participants are beginning to grapple with the impacts of sanctions (in theory, positive for the market because of the longer voyages and inefficiencies all around), word comes from OPEC+ that it is now considering oil production cutbacks of as much as 1 million barrels/ day in the face of lowered oil prices. If all else is unchanged (a very big âifâ, I know), that would lead to reduced tonnage demand for tankers. We live in interesting times, as the saying goes.
