Schulte forms Chinese crew joint venture
Sam Chambers November 28, 2024
The Schulte Group, Huayang Maritime Center, and Haikou Xinhaina Port and Shipping Technology Co have formed a joint venture on Hainan Island in the far south of China. Called BSM-HMC Maritime Services, the aim of the new joint venture is to build a strong local network to cultivate a new generation of Chinese crew.
“Together, not only will we be able to ensure the supply of highly trained Chinese crew to the Schulte Group’s owned and managed vessels, but also enhance the competitiveness of China’s seafarers in the global crew pool and provide more high-quality talent to the whole maritime industry,” said Ian Beveridge, CEO of the Schulte Group.
According to Schulte data, China is the fourth-largest supplier of seafarers, having dispatched approximately 1.4m seafarers over the past decade.

Meta taps into Norden’s biofuel offering
Adis Ajdin November 26, 2024
Danish shipping giant Norden has sealed a deal with Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta for the use of sustainable fuels in its maritime supply chains.
The owner of Facebook, which has set a goal of reaching net-zero emissions across its value chain in 2030, has signed up for the so-called Book & Claim model, which sees Norden-operated ships running on biofuel and then allocating the emissions reduction to a third-party customer.
Norden uses the Smart Freight Centre’s voluntary market-based measure framework for logistics emissions accounting and reporting. The company said the biofuel used has 80–90% life cycle emission reduction potential. The savings are authenticated by an independent verifier, Normec Verifavia, and transacted on an external registry through 123Carbon.
“Our Book & Claim solution allows customers of marine transportation across the globe to take advantage of emissions reductions from biofuels, even when biofuels are not physically available to be bunkered on a specific trading route or voyage,” said Anne Jensen, chief of operations at Norden.
The solution is developed to enable Norden’s direct customers and clients in other industries that are dependent on marine transportation and seeking to decarbonise their supply chains to credibly invest in maritime decarbonisation.
Devon Lake, head of net zero strategy at Meta, said the group has been working to address emissions sources across the supply chain, including the upstream emissions associated with the shipping of goods such as computing equipment and construction materials.
“Innovative solutions such as those that Norden is providing are critical for companies like Meta to decarbonise our value chain at the pace and scale required to achieve our emissions reduction targets,” he added.
