https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/us-approves-major-massachusetts-offshore-wind-farm-2024-12-20/ The Biden administration has approved the SouthCoast Wind project, marking its eleventh major offshore wind initiative. Located off the coast of Massachusetts, the project is a collaboration between EDP Renewables and ENGIE. Featuring 141 turbines, the farm will generate 2.4 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power over 840,000 homes. Construction is set to begin in 2025, with energy production expected by the decade’s end. This approval highlights the U.S. commitment to renewable energy, despite challenges such as high costs and supply chain issues, as it strives to meet ambitious climate goals and boost green energy infrastructure.

https://www.wsj.com/business/logistics/never-before-have-so-many-sailors-been-abandoned-at-sea-11549bba There has been a record number of cases where sailors have been abandoned at sea by shipowners, often left unpaid and stranded on vessels. As of mid-November 2024, over 4,000 seafarers on 282 ships have been abandoned, highlighting severe issues within the global shipping industry.

https://www.lloydslist.com/LL1151435/LNG-shipping-rates-slump-to-historic-lows--and-theyre-still-falling LNG freight rates have dropped to historic lows due to an oversupply of ships and slower-than-expected LNG production increases. In November, hiring a modern LNG carrier in the Atlantic basin averaged $19,700 per day. The oversupply stems from a surge in ship orders during Europe's energy crisis, with many new vessels entering the market this year and more expected by 2027. Delays in U.S. LNG export facilities and lower-than-anticipated European demand have exacerbated the situation.
