Port call optimisation reduces greenhouse gas emissions in ports

Drewry is well-known for its expertise in maritime-related matters. In a recent market opinion piece, they suggest that maritime emissions can be reduced rather simply, with port call optimization. They mean to reduce the time ships sit near a port waiting for their berth to open up. Some ports have been successful with appointment windows. But the Drewry approach includes slow steaming to hit…

ed and stede making love. not in any sort of rush to get to the finish line or to drown themselves in pleasure. simply to warm each other's bodies inside and out with closeness, with precious intimacy, with reverence. looking into each other's eyes and connecting in a way reserved only for them. kissing as slowly and sweetly as the rocks of their pelvises. taking the time to explore each other's skin and trace over every inky or silvery line, every wrinkle, every crease, every freckle.

and when they finally do finish, it's not thunderous or explosive or earth-shattering. it's more so like a gentle wave traveling up the beach, like a caressing, cool breeze on a hot day. it's with pleasured sighs and soft moans of each other's names and the slightest trickle of awed tears because...it's real. and it's theirs. theirs and theirs alone.

a love real and sweet and tangible and beautiful.

I have a new hobby! This is my first book binding attempt, and I'm really happy with it!

It's a sketchbook made of watercolor paper and chip board. Obviously I had to decorate it, so I used my favorite band, Steam Powered Giraffe, for inspiration.

Bulk carriers and containerships moving at slowest speeds

Slow steaming is a good way to save on fuel costs and meet the new IMO requirements. So ships have slowed down. But I was amazed at the graph below, showing a trend for quite a while. Slowing down is an important way of cutting CO2 emissions from fuel oil. It also implies that more ships are needed to meet planned sailings on a scheduled route. It’s a deliberate reduction of individual ship…

hello val. excited for harbingers da fic. care to talk a bit about the inspiration for it or how it came about? did you go from idea to writing it pretty quickly?

my friend posted this on tumblr about thai BL actors and i saw it and was like what if this was norstappen.

and the FIA gala happened to be that day so all of the photos of lando max and charles (and oscar) in their suits kind of came at perfect timing as it was all swirling around in my head

it went really quickly. like within a few days i think i had something like 10k already written. something like that. hoping to finish up act 2 within the next 2 weeks. i'm still trying to develop the plot of act 3 more cohesively but. hoping to get going!
