Cleaner shipping fuel is now mandatory as the Mediterranean becomes a low-emissions zone.

Ships in the Mediterranean must now use cleaner fuel with lower sulphur content, as the sea on Thursday becomes the world’s fifth low-emissions zone.

Reducing sulphur emissions is expected to improve air and water quality and benefit human and environmental health.

Mission on: the river

And this is my 3d scene based on River Raid (Reflexive). You are flying along the river. And this is also simple arcade. From age of first three dimensional games. And first three dimensional accelerators. I like how these games looks. It is some unique visual. For example Turok NightDive studios

Research in museums is impossible without networking and cooperation. Last week, we visited the International Maritime Museum & the German Harbour Museum in Hamburg with our team from the German Maritime Museum. A day full of dialogue & exchange

I drive the bridge multiple times a week. Sometimes multiple times a day. I love the feeling of coming east and leaving the western shore behind. The #Chesapeakebay Bridge is often called the scariest #bridge in the US. They say that the older eastbound span is particularly frightening. There’s a curve in the road on the ascent to the bridge’s highest point that can make it seem like you’re driving off the edge. The bridge’s highest sections are exposed to the elements and often hit by storms. In bad weather, visibility can be so poor that land is invisible. High winds will shut down the bridge. Low, open barriers allow you to see the water far below. Giant #ships travel through daily.
The view from the water below is beautiful 🤩

Immer mehr Schiffe haben einen Flattner Rotor um Sprit zu sparen. Hier hat die 'Annika Braren' so ein riesen Ding auf der Back stehen. Ich kapier das physikalische Prinzip dahinter nicht. Scheint aber wohl zu funktionieren

There’s a novel in this…Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice Davies sailing on board the Nieuw Amsterdam
from Southampton to New York, 4 July 1962 to 11 July 1962.

What did they get up to 🤔

The American authorities watching them every step of the way.

@MAKS23 Ukraine need to keep the drones waiting for them, I would suggest a model that can be submerged while waiting for orders, as soon as #nazi #ships leaves port, then activate them.
