I am so chill and normal about them. I am so, unalarmingly sane and normal about these fictional characters, do not even worry about it.

I am not thinking about making an 87 page essay about them. I think about them a perfectly healthy amount. Trust.

[strawberryjamsara]

I hope this never goes away. I hope that in the future, when you Google Matt’s name, the first result to come up is his transphobia, and how he stalked and doxxed an innocent trans woman to another platform. I hope he gets sued for every penny he has by the waves of trans women unfairly terminated by his website. I hope, that even if Tumblr turns itself around, and stops nuking trans women, this man’s actions follow him for the rest of his life. I hope he’s seen on the street and recognized as a whiny transphobe who put people in danger because of his actions. I hope his reputation is forever tainted.

I am doing perhaps the most hilariously overboard and unnecessary world-building thing (probably not the most….creating 5 accurate conlangs based on languages from 800ad merging and gaining specific vocabulary from 2000 years of life in very different planets is probably up there since that took a year and I only referenced one of them in the actual book… but that was a different book/universe)

I am currently making MANY spreadsheets of duty rosters to logistically make Exodus Terminal run with 53 people and still have scouting missions happening. Every department has its own sheet and all 53 characters have their own sheet to describe exactly where everyone is at any given point in time. There’s also a « crew by alphabetical order » sheet and a « crew by rank » sheet to help inform the choices of where people best slot in.

Transforming Vessel Efficiency: Leveraging Data-Driven Insights for a Sustainable Future

Introduction

Optimizing vessel efficiency has become not just a competitive advantage but a necessity. Shipping companies are under increasing pressure to reduce operational costs, comply with stringent environmental regulations, and minimize their carbon footprint. As global trade continues to expand, so does the need for smarter, data-driven solutions. This is where leveraging data-driven insights comes into play, transforming vessel operations and driving the future of maritime efficiency.

The Increasing Importance of Vessel Efficiency

Vessel efficiency is essential for several critical reasons. First and foremost, cost reduction is a driving force. Fuel costs represent one of the largest operational expenses for shipping companies. In fact, optimizing vessel efficiency can lead to fuel savings of up to 15%, resulting in substantial reductions in overall operating costs. One way this is achieved is through smart propulsion systems that adjust fuel consumption in real time based on operational conditions, ensuring that vessels operate at peak efficiency.

But it’s not just about fuel savings. With stringent regulations set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, operational efficiency has become critical for regulatory compliance. The IMO has set ambitious targets: a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030 and an 80%reduction by 2040. Meeting these targets will require shipping companies to focus on optimizing their vessels' operational efficiency.

On the environmental front, the shipping industry is responsible for approximately 3% of global CO2emissions. Environmental responsibility is becoming increasingly important, and improving vessel efficiency helps to lower emissions, making a significant contribution to the global effort to combat climate change.

Importance of Vessel Efficiency in Modern Shipping

As operating costs rise due to factors like high interest rates, increasing shipbuilding costs, and the extended lifespan of older vessels, the importance of vessel efficiency has become more evident than ever. However, vessel efficiency goes beyond just fuel consumption—it is a multifaceted issue that requires a holistic approach to optimize.

Vessel efficiency can be broken down into three key categories:

1.   Structural Efficiency: This includes innovations like new vessel designs, retrofits, and advanced propulsion systems.

2.   Maintenance Efficiency: Regular hull cleaning, engine maintenance, and proactive maintenance scheduling can significantly reduce fuel consumption and downtime.

3.   Operational Efficiency: Minimizing idle time, optimizing fleet size, and adopting best practices can drastically improve operational performance.

 By addressing each of these categories, shipping companies can unlock vast improvements in vessel efficiency, ultimately leading to reduced costs, improved sustainability, and a stronger competitive edge.
