 Early motor driven vessels carried sails as they were a guarantee that the vessels could get through. Early motor driven vessels carried sails as they were a guarantee that the vessels could get through.
  
-"Is the expression "Clean Cargo" greenwashing? [[http://www.bsr.org/en/our-work/working-groups/clean-cargo|Working Group]] This does not seem to mention anything but carbon footprint, while heavy fuel oil seems to have its major problem with SOx and NOx (sulpher and nitrogen oxides) emmissions. The Clean Shipping Index ([[Overview|http://cleantech.cnss.no/policies-and-instruments/voluntary-instruments-2/clean-shipping-index/]] [[Main site|http://www.cleanshippingindex.com/]]) seems to look at these aspects as well.+"Is the expression "Clean Cargo" greenwashing?

 Andreas Lackner from Tres Hombres talked about their Fair Transport work. Since 2013 they have reached a break even point. So this is financially sustainable, the people working are being paid. "An organic banana is no longer organic  after shipping." One other aim is to increase maritime job variety. Andreas Lackner from Tres Hombres talked about their Fair Transport work.

 Carbon credit markets and rerlated topics are difficult. There are various markets.. LNG as a fuel is being considered. There is a problem with split incentives: the owner needs to act, but the charterer pays / saves. There is no existing methodology for (measuring / crediting) fuel savings. Voluntary / Verified Carbon Standard is one international system. Given the Ecoliner's aim of saving 50% of fuel, there would be around one million Euro per year in savings that could be made and paid. There is also no existing system for Europe. Once this methodology has been developed, it could be taken on and applied widely - but who will take on the costs for doing it the first time? Carbon credit markets and rerlated topics are difficult.

 +=== Water / Sail and Arts Network ===
 +
 +As a result of meeting Madadh MacLaine at NSRsail, a conversation with various people and organisations has arisen. Let us try and keep track of them here. They of course begin to interconnect with other conversations....
 +
 +
 +==Cape Farewell==
 +David Buckland runs this in the UK. Artists and environmental considerations. Arts/Science collaborations.
 +
 +===Sustainable Sea Transport===
 +
 +Peter Nuttall at University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji. Have run several conferences.
 +There seems to be a useful series of meetings and work going on.
 +
 +If I understand, the issue is developing vessels for cargo between PAcific islands, that are commercially as well as ecologically workable and sustainable. Islands are losing transport chances because duesel is no longer affordable as a propulsion fuel.
 +
 +One suggested design, similar to the one above: [[http://seafretcaraibes.fr/|(in French)]]
 +
 +
 +===Island Mesh===
 +A voyage from Fiji to Rotuma should take place under the name of Island Mesh. Call will be made in Feb 2015.
 +This is an ANAT / ADA Aotearoa Digital Arts) collaboration.
 +
 +This might be connectied to the Mesh Cities project about arts in transitional spaces.
 +
 +===Windfinder===
 +
 +Wipke Iwersen has been sending out small, unmanned sailing vessels that sail into the wind, as his search for "the origin of the wind" since 2004. [[http://www.windvinder.com|Website]]
 +
 +===Marin===
 +While its acronym is relatively general, Media Art Research Interdisciplinary Network, there is a strong Makrolab taste about these projects. Journeys, data streams, autonomous sensor networks, etc. One sees close connections to ATOL's project in Slovenia and the Arctic Perspective Initiative as well. Ran 2009-2011, unsure about current status.
