China Uses Water Cannons Against Philippine Ships
Reuters March 23, 2024
MANILA/SHANGHAI, March 23 (Reuters) – China’s coast guard said it had taken measures against Philippine vessels in disputed waters of the South China Sea on Saturday, while the Philippines decried the moves, including the use of water cannons, as “irresponsible and provocative.”
China’s actions led to “significant damage” and injury to personnel on a civilian boat hired to resupply troops, the Philippine task force on the South China Sea said in a statement.
The incident occurred in the Second Thomas Shoal and Spratly Islands waters, according to the Chinese coast guard. The shoal is home to a small number of Filipino troops stationed on a warship that Manila grounded there in 1999 to reinforce its sovereignty claims.
China claims almost the entire South China Sea, including the Second Thomas Shoal, which is within the Philippines’ 200-mile (320-km) exclusive economic zone, and has deployed vessels to patrol the disputed atoll. A 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration found that China’s sweeping claims have no legal basis.
The civilian boat was being escorted by two Philippine navy ships and two Philippine coast guard vessels, according to a statement from the Philippine military.
A Philippine coast guard vessel was “impeded” and “encircled” by a Chinese coastguard vessel and two Chinese maritime militia vessels, the Philippine coastguard said in a separate statement.
VESSEL ISOLATED
As a result, the Philippine coast guard vessel was “isolated” from the resupply boat by the “irresponsible and provocative behavior” of the Chinese maritime forces, the agency said.
Washington “stands with its ally the Philippines and condemns the dangerous actions” of China, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement.
“The PRC’s actions are destabilizing to the region and show clear disregard for international law,” Miller said, referring to the People’s Republic of China.
Gan Yu, a spokesperson for China’s coastguard, said the Philippines had broken a promise to remove the grounded vessel and sent two coastguard ships and a supply ship into the Second Thomas Shoal waters, 18 days after the last round of supplies.
China has not said who promised the removal or when that promise was made. The Philippine defense ministry, foreign ministry and military leaders have repeatedly said there was no such promise.
Gan said the Philippines had on Saturday infringed and provoked trouble, and deliberately undermined the peace and stability of the South China Sea.
The Philippine vessels ignored China’s repeated warnings and route controls and forced their way in, Gan added. The China coast guard implements regulations in accordance with laws and handles matters in a reasonable, legal, and professional manner, he said.
“If the Philippines continues to act unilaterally, China will continue to take resolute measures to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests,” China’s foreign ministry said.
“All consequences caused by this shall be borne by the Philippines.”
But the Philippines will not be deterred “by veiled threats or hostility” from exercising its legal rights over its maritime zones, including the Second Thomas Shoal, its task force said.

US Revises Tax Credit Rule to Help Offshore Wind Projects
Reporting by Nichola Groom Reuters March 22, 2024
March 22 (Reuters) – The Biden administration on Friday released new rules that will make it easier for offshore wind developers to claim a subsidy for facilities planned in areas that have historically relied on fossil fuel industries for employment.
The revision follows nearly a year of warnings by offshore wind companies that their projects may not move forward without access to certain subsidies in U.S. President Joe Biden’s landmark climate change law, the Inflation Reduction Act.
Offshore wind is a critical part of Biden’s plan to decarbonize the U.S. power grid and combat climate change.
In a statement, the Treasury Department said it would now allow an offshore wind project to claim a tax credit for siting in low-income communities if its supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment is located in such an area. SCADA systems are used to control critical infrastructure.
The energy communities tax credit is worth 10% of a project’s cost and can be claimed on top of the IRA’s base 30% credit for renewable energy projects.
The credit for siting projects in “energy communities,” defined as areas that have significant employment or tax revenues from fossil fuel industries and high unemployment, had been dictated by where a project connects to an onshore substation.
“This change reflects the fact that onshore SCADA equipment at ports is critical to offshore wind projects and that offshore wind projects make significant investments and create jobs at these ports over the duration of projects, which is the goal of the energy communities bonus,” Treasury said in a statement.
The rules also clarify that projects with multiple points of interconnection may include any land-based power conditioning equipment to determine their eligibility for the energy communities bonus.

They lost QR when they got arrogant and complacent. Then they demanded to have their /hivemind/ and found out anons weren't buying their bullshit and didn't show up. Then they tried to pass themselves off as the OGs, then they had a temper tantrum and nuked all the breads they'd made
Grinds your gears when you morans get called out, don't it?
Same claim you made last year, and like monthly since
Thanks for the promotion
Can I have the 8kun premium now?
Anons already have the board, and you shitheads can't get it back
Try harder
And yet none of those whining ever make a new board or claim an old one and come by to say what a great new board they have
Except that one time…
I can sense that vein in your forehead throbbing from here
Global greenhouse gas levy likely in 2027
Sam Chambers March 25, 2024
The 81st meeting of the Maritime Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) wrapped up at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) last week with a greenhouse gas (GHG) levy now likely to be introduced by 2027.
According to a read-out from UMAS, London-based watchers of green shipping regulation, there was positive momentum built at the meeting, with an increased number and diversity of countries supporting a GHG levy.
“The MEPC has agreed on a framework for the mid-term measures including a fuel standard and an economic measure, as well as set up the necessary expert groups, laying the foundation for an agreement that will deliver on the target of net-zero by 2050,” read a statement from the World Shipping Council, liner shipping’s lobby group.
“We will have a pricing mechanism,” said the IMO’s secretary-general, Arsenio Dominguez (pictured), in a meeting with journalists at the organisation’s London headquarters. “Of that, I have no doubt.”
Specifics of how the levy will work will be up for further discussion at MEPC 82, which meets in September.
Among other key outcomes from last week’s meeting there was approval of SOx and NOx emission control areas in the Norwegian Sea and the Canadian Arctic, both expected to come into force in 2026.

Rumours of Houthi truce with China and Russia fall flat with latest tanker attack
Sam Chambers March 25, 2024
Putting paid to reports last week that Chinese and Russian ships were to be given safe passage through the Red Sea by the Houthis, a Chinese tanker was attacked by missiles fired from Yemen on Saturday.
A total of five missiles were aimed at the Huang Pu, a 2009-built aframax. The Chinese manned vessel, carrying a cargo of Russian crude to India, suffered minimal damage and a fire onboard was extinguished within 30 minutes. No casualties were reported. It has since continued its voyage to India.
Bloomberg reported last week that the Houthis would not target Chinese and Russian ships. Citing unnamed sources, the financial newswire said an agreement had been reached following recent talks between Chinese and Russian diplomats with a senior Houthi figure, Mohammed Abdel Salam, in Oman.
The Houthis have been waging a series of attacks aimed at Israeli, US and UK-linked ships, taking sides with Hamas in its near six-month war with Israel. However, the Houthis’ selection of targets has often proven to be off, with outdated, or incorrect, shipping databases leading to attacks on ships with no links to Israel, the US or the UK.
Some 70 merchant ships have been targeted to date leading to a massive rerouting of the global merchant fleet to head around the continent of Africa in order to connect between Asia and Europe.
