Scott Borgerson’s “tech company,” CargoMetrics Technologies, applies big data to the shipping lines. And, to be fair, this is both very cool and desperately needed, given the horse-and-buggy approach to tech in the industry. CargoMetrics is billed as a “maritime innovation company,” and it is. As I understand it, the company’s proprietary software aims to monitor not just where the ships all are—via their AIS, or automatic identification system—but where they’ve been, and, ultimately, what they’re carrying. This would make it possible to have a granular overview of the entire world’s ocean transport system. “If someone could actually crack that,” Slade says, “damn, that’s like becoming god.”

 

Unlike Ghislaine Maxwell, Borgerson did not come from money. His is an Horatio Alger story: from a small town in Missouri to a mansion on the sea, from nothing to millions. This is from his bio:

There are environmental applications to CargoMetrics’ tech. This excerpt is from a June 2019 Boston Globe piece on shipping technology, written by John Konrad, a former sea captain who runs a maritime news site:

On the high seas, huge, unmonitored ships and underfunded coast guards conspire to destroy our oceans. Each lost ship and container leaks pollutants into the ocean, but without a standardized way to collect information, we don't know the specific chemicals, plastics, and hazardous materials dumped into our waters each year.

 

Last January, an oil tanker carrying one million barrels of toxic light oil condensate crashed into another ship causing a large oil spill. Days later, officials at the Global Fishing Watch (GFW), a project funded by Google to track fishing vessels, found large trawlers pulling fish out of the toxic water; they continued to fish knowing that buyers had no way of knowing that the food was tainted.

 

Because US Customs lacks the tools to view the history of where a shipping container was loaded, drug cartels have been emboldened. A few days ago, $1 billion worth of cocaine — 17 tons — was discovered aboard a ship docked in Philadelphia. Even the largest and most visible ships are difficult to monitor once they're at sea.

 

Just last month, Princess Cruises acknowledged violating probation terms from a 2016 dumping case. According to filings with the Justice Department, operators of the 951-foot-long, 3,142-passenger ship Caribbean Princess dumped plastic into the ocean, falsified records, and dispatched cleanup teams ahead of inspectors to avoid environmental violations.

 

Borgerson is in a position to help the environment. But that doesn’t seem to be his ultimate goal.

The people who run the Butterfly center were strongly opposed to Trump's Border wall.

 

now, they pretend they are against human trafficking.
