The future of trans-Arctic shipping and implications for the EU,' by Systemiq with economic modeling from the University of Oxford Environmental Change Institute, suggests that trans-Arctic shipping will account for less than 0.2% of global maritime trade by value in 2050, with annual industry savings of only $100 million.

Factors such as the need for ice-capable vessels, higher insurance premiums, slower speeds, and limited infrastructure undercut commercial attractiveness. Boris Vergote, a senior manager at Systemiq, highlighted that diverting ships through the Arctic could disrupt complex global container shipping networks, which rely on predictability and multiple ports of call. The report emphasizes that environmental and geopolitical risks remain substantial, including black carbon emissions accelerating ice melt, noise and light di...

Indonesia is advocating for enhanced regional and global cooperation to tackle illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

The forum, attended by nearly 400 representatives from over 30 countries, also saw Indonesia pushing for stronger marine conservation efforts, expanded marine research, and the development of an inclusive and sustainable blue economy. Minister Trenggono highlighted the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) as the foundational framework for international ocean governance. He also outlined Indonesia's five key blue economy policies, which include expanding marine conservation areas to 30% by 2045, implementing quota-based meas...
