China's 'Shock' Statement: Palestinians Have Right To Use 'Armed Force' Against Israel

by Tyler Durden Friday, Feb 23, 2024 - 05:00 AM Via Middle East Eye

China has backed the right of the Palestinian people to use armed force to combat Israel's occupation of their land, calling it an "an inalienable right well founded in international law".

The comments on Thursday were made by the Chinese ambassador to the UN, Zhang Jun, during the fourth day of public hearings held by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands.

Representatives of 52 countries are addressing the ICJ on Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land.

Beijing’s envoy said there were "various people (who) freed themselves from colonial rule" and they could use "all available means, including armed struggle".

He described the Palestinian use of armed resistance as legitimate and not an act of terrorism.

"The struggle waged by peoples for their liberation, right to self-determination, including armed struggle against colonialism, occupation, aggression, domination against foreign forces should not be considered terror acts," Zhang Jun told the court.

In his speech, Jun criticized Israeli policies, characterizing them as “oppression that has severely undermined and impeded the exercises and full realization of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination".

The ICJ’s public hearings, which will be held until February 26, come after a UN General Assembly resolution requesting an ICJ advisory opinion.

The number of states participating in the oral proceedings is the highest of any case since the ICJ's establishment in 1945 and is separate to the more publicized genocide case brought by South Africa. A panel of 15 judges are expected to take about six months to deliberate before issuing an advisory opinion.

Besides China, other countries scheduled to participate in the hearings include Hungary, France, South Africa and Egypt.

International bodies, including the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the African Union will also take part. Israel will not participate but has sent written observations to the court.

HMM Lines Up Methanol and LNG Fuel Supply in Shanghai Port

Mike Schuler April 3, 2024

South Korean ocean carrier HMM has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG), China’s largest port operator, on the supply methanol and liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker fuel at the Port of Shanghai.

HMM says the establishment of port bunkering infrastructure for clean marine fuels is critical to achieving its net-zero emissions by 2050 commitment.

As part of this, HMM has already signed contracts for the construction of its first nine methanol-powered vessels with a capacity of 9,000 TEU each. The company also anticipates the operation of two 7,700 TEU LNG-powered vessels by the end of the year.

HMM said the MoU also supports carbon reduction goals, promotes global shipping new energy cooperation, and aids in shipping energy transformation and sustainable development.

Since 2022, SIPG has offered bonded LNG bunkering services to several global shipping companies. HMM says all preparations for green methanol bunkering in Shanghai Port have been completed.

“Through this cooperation with SIPG, we have expanded our green fuel supply chain in China, following Korea and Singapore. We will continue to strive for various efforts to find a way to go green,” said an HMM official.

HMM在上海港安排甲醇和液化天然气燃料供应

迈克*舒勒2024年4月3日

韩国远洋运输公司HMM已与中国最大的港口运营商上海国际港口集团（Sipg）签署了一份谅解备忘录（MoU），就在上海港供应甲醇和液化天然气（LNG）船用燃料。

HMM表示，为清洁船用燃料建立港口燃料补给基础设施对于实现其2050净零排放承诺至关重要。

作为其中的一部分，HMM已经签署了建造其前九艘甲醇动力船的合同，每艘船的容量为9,000TEU。 该公司还预计到今年年底将运营两艘7,700TEU液化天然气动力船。

HMM表示，该谅解备忘录还支持碳减排目标，促进全球航运新能源合作，并协助航运能源转型和可持续发展。

自2022年以来，SIPG已为多家全球航运公司提供保税液化天然气燃料补给服务。 HMM说，上海港绿色甲醇燃料补给的所有准备工作已经完成。

"通过与SIPG的合作，我们在韩国和新加坡之后扩大了中国的绿色燃料供应链。 我们将继续努力寻找绿色道路，"一位HMM官员说。

香港成为全球班轮网络重新设计的第一个主要受害者

山姆*钱伯斯2024年4月1日

这个世界上下降最快的主要集装箱港口将在未来几年进一步大幅下降。

香港在20年前是世界上最大的集装箱港口，但越来越多的国际班轮避开了香港。

主要的联盟，双子座合作，联盟和海洋联盟，都公布了他们今年和明年的网络变化，香港取消了许多航线。 对于马士基和哈马格–劳埃德之间的新联盟双子座来说，中国南方城市根本没有直接港口的特色。

丹麦咨询公司Sea-Intelligence的一份新报告说："这对香港港口来说并不是一个好兆头，但也应该被视为一个迹象，表明网络整合的一个要素正在进行，特别是与转运枢纽有关。"

根据Sea-Intelligence，对网络设计和网络效率的分析表明，更少但更大的集线器在经济上更有效。

该咨询公司在其最新的周报中称，香港似乎是第一个主要的"受害者"，警告说，更多的港口可能面临同样的命运。

过去十年，香港的连通性持续下降。

英国顾问公司Drewry的数据显示，去年香港的集装箱吞吐量下降了14%，至1430万teu，是去年全球最大港口中跌幅最大的一个。 广东城市现在在全球boxport联盟中排名第10位。

香港作为一个主要集装箱港口的衰落，在最近在当地外国记者俱乐部举行的一次活动中，一些主要船东讨论了香港作为一个主要集装箱港口的衰落

香港船东协会主席安加德*班加（Angad Banga）告诉与会者，伦敦或瑞士等地向与会者展示了香港如何发展成为国际海运中心，而不管港口数量下降。

班加认为，香港作为一个"高成本管辖区"不应该竞争集装箱，另一位小组成员华信航运董事长蒂姆*赫胥黎（Tim Huxley）也赞同这一观点。

赫胥黎说："在船上和船上吊运金属箱并不是一个全球土地成本最高的城市应该做的高价值业务。"他提醒与会者，该市也是全球三家最大的全球码头运营商的总部，中远(COSCO)、招商局(China Merchants)和和记黄埔(Hutchison Ports)都在那里注册。

Hong Kong becomes first major victim of global liner network redesigns

Sam Chambers April 1, 2024

The world’s most rapidly declining major container port is braced for further huge throughput drops in the coming couple of years.

Hong Kong, which 20 years ago was the largest container port in the world, is increasingly being shunned by global liners.

The major alliances, Gemini Cooperation, THE Alliance and Ocean Alliance, have all unveiled their network changes for this year and next with Hong Kong deselected for many routes. For Gemini – the new alliance between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd – the southern Chinese city does not feature as a direct port at all.

“This does not bode well for the Port of Hong Kong, but should also be seen as a sign that an element of network consolidation is afoot, especially related to transhipment hubs,” stated a new report from Danish consultancy Sea-Intelligence.

Analysis of network design and network efficiency shows that fewer, but larger, hubs are economically more efficient, according to Sea-Intelligence.

Hong Kong appears to be the first major “victim” of this, the consultancy argued in its latest weekly report, warning that more ports could risk the same fate.

Connectivity for Hong Kong has been on a consistent decline over the last decade.

Container throughput in Hong Kong fell 14% last year to 14.3m teu, the biggest percentage drop among the world’s biggest ports last year, according to data from UK consultants Drewry. The Cantonese city now lies in 10th place in the global boxport league.

Hong Kong’s decline as a major container port was discussed by some of the city’s leading shipowners at a recent event at the local Foreign Correspondents’ Club

Angad Banga, chairman of the Hong Kong Shipowners Association, told attendees that the likes of London or Switzerland showed how Hong Kong can develop as an international maritime centre, regardless of declining port numbers.

Hong Kong as a “high cost jurisdiction” ought not to compete for containers, Banga argued, a point of view echoed by another panellist, Tim Huxley, the chairman of Mandarin Shipping.

“Lifting metal boxes on and off ships is not the high value business that a global city with the highest land costs in the world should be doing,” Huxley said, reminding attendees that the city also was the headquarters for three of the world’s largest global terminal operators, with COSCO, China Merchants and Hutchison Ports all registered there.
