🌍🚢 Major changes are on the horizon for the shipping industry! Starting January 1, 2025, new regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will require shippers to calculate and report emissions, affecting 90% of global shipments. This shift could raise shipping costs and contribute to inflation as companies face pressure to switch to alternative fuels like LNG, hydrogen, and biofuels. Although carbon pricing policies are still under discussion, the time to prepare is now. At Pole Star Global we're here to help you navigate these changes. Here's how to get started: 👉🏽 Fleet Modernisation: Upgrade to fuel-efficient ships and retrofit older vessels. 👉🏿 Operational Efficiency: Optimise routes, slow steam, and maintain your fleet to reduce fuel costs. 👉🏻 Alternative Fuels: Explore LNG, methanol, and biofuels to stay ahead of rising fuel prices. 👉🏼Carbon Pricing: Reduce your carbon footprint now to minimise future taxes and levies. Given the industry's slow progress toward alternative fuels, operational efficiency is more crucial than ever. That’s where Pole Star Global’s #Podium5 comes in. Our Podium5 platform supports voyage optimisation, offering the most efficient routes with its Emissions Module. The Pre-Voyage Brief (PVB) provides detailed forecasts on wind, seas, and currents, along with insights on potential savings in distance, time, and costs. By analysing fuel costs, hire rates, vessel consumption, and emissions, Podium5’s PVB delivers estimates on fuel, emission, and financial savings for each voyage or across your fleet over time.

While global #supplychain shocks of recent years have become well known, a spread of geopolitical and weather-related risks continue to complicate #trade for many #commodity stakeholders globally. Conflict-related disruption to shipping lanes in #Europe and the #MiddleEast and droughts in the Panama Canal that have restricted transits are causing shipping companies to become increasingly burdened by rerouting and sanctions compliance needs and higher costs oscillating down supply chains. These new and existing stresses threaten increased operational and insurance costs, and cement the importance of ‘just in case’, nearshoring, and agile inventory management solutions. Join us on September 19, where Yasmina Rauber (Zug Commodity Association (ZCA)), Ernesto Vila (Tech Cargo, LLC.) and David Tannenbaum (Pole Star Global) will examine the emerging scope of strategies that can navigate volatile supply chains, and the toolbox being employed by key market stakeholders. Celebrating its 10 year anniversary, this a highly anticipated opportunity to connect with over 500 peers from the commodity trade and finance community!

2024 has seen renewed focus on the importance of adherence to sanctions, with FIs, shippers and insurers all instructed to implement stringent 'know your cargo' policies or risk enforcement action for sanctions violation as criminal actors seek to find ways to exploit global supply chains and evade sanctions or export controls for financial gain. Companies who fail to implement or strengthen controls face a range of retaliatory actions including criminal or civil enforcement, financial penalties or export bans. This discussion will seek to address a number of key talking points including: 💸 Understanding how when cargo becomes the subject of sanctions enforcement actions the costs and reputational risks can be significant 🚩 Identifying red flags including manipulation of location signals or identification data, falsified documents or complex ownership and management structures 🌍 How destination/origins of cargo can be disguised by indirect routing, unscheduled detours or transshipment through third countries, and ship-to-ship transfers 📊 Increased use of data, from companies assessing location history of vessels and other vehicles used to move cargo to FIs and insurers monitoring location information and reporting data gaps 📜 Highlighting the role of freight forwarding companies and reminding them of their responsibilities for making correct representations when filing export control documents 🌐 Educating parties based outside the US that any transactions processed through the US financial system fall under OFAC jurisdiction and pose sanctions risks to FIs Don’t miss this vital session on how to protect your business from sanctions risks in an increasingly complex global landscape!
