Podcasts about LPG

New prices for gasoline, diesel and liquid petroleum gas have taken effect under the Government's modified fuel price mechanism. Gasoline and diesel increased by 50 cents to $17.25 per imperial gallon, while the prices of LPG cylinders also increased. The Government continues to subsidize diesel, kerosene and LPG products to help cushion consumers from higher international oil prices.

Tukang becak masuk desil kaya, pensiunan bergaji 900 ribu dicatat lebih sejahtera dari Menkeu? Ketidakakuratan Data Tunggal Sosial dan Ekonomi Nasional (DTSEN) bukan sekadar angka di atas kertas. Dampaknya nyata: hak warga miskin atas Bansos, BLT, bantuan pendidikan, hingga akses BBM & LPG 3 kg bersubsidi terancam hilang.Bagaimana jadinya jika pemerintah tetap memaksakan data ini sebagai acuan? Simak penuturan mendalam bersama Anggota DPR RI sekaligus Ketua Umum KRPI, Dr. Rieke Diah Pitaloka, M.Hum.

Kasus Data Tunggal Sosial dan Ekonomi Nasional atau DTSEN yang dialami seorang tukang becak asal Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, Timbul (49), menjadi sorotan. Timbul sempat tercatat dari Desil 1 menjadi Desil 9, meski kini datanya telah dimutakhirkan BPS dan kembali menjadi Desil 3.Perubahan drastis tersebut menjadi gambaran adanya persoalan akurasi dalam pengelompokan kondisi ekonomi masyarakat.Kasus serupa dialami Suwarno (70), warga Jogoyudan, Gowongan, Kemantren Jetis, Kota Yogyakarta. Pensiunan pustakawan dengan penghasilan sekitar Rp900 ribu per bulan itu tiba-tiba tercatat dalam Desil 10, yang merupakan kelompok dengan tingkat kesejahteraan tertinggi.Ironisnya, berdasarkan data tersebut, Suwarno bahkan tercatat lebih sejahtera dibandingkan Menteri Keuangan Purbaya, yang berada di Desil 7.Kesalahan pengelompokan dalam DTSEN bukan sekadar persoalan angka. Dampaknya bisa langsung dirasakan masyarakat. Hak warga miskin yang seharusnya mendapatkan bantuan berpotensi hilang. Mulai dari bansos, BLT, hingga bantuan pendidikan bagi anak.Bahkan, sejumlah energi bersubsidi seperti LPG 3 kilogram dan BBM Pertalite juga berpotensi tidak lagi dapat diakses oleh masyarakat yang dianggap berada pada kelompok kesejahteraan tertentu.Lantas, bagaimana jika pemerintah tetap bersikeras menggunakan data BPS terbaru sebagai dasar pengelompokan tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat? Seberapa akurat DTSEN dalam menentukan siapa yang berhak mendapatkan bantuan dan siapa yang tidak?Persoalan ini akan dibahas bersama Anggota DPR sekaligus Ketua Umum Konfederasi Rakyat Pekerja Indonesia, Dr. Rieke Diah Pitaloka, M.Hum.

In this Week 35, 2026 episode of the GMS Weekly Podcast, Ingrid and Henning discuss the latest developments shaping the global ship recycling market, including new U.S. sanctions affecting Iranian-linked shipping, stronger freight markets, limited recycling vessel supply, and changing conditions across Gadani, Chattogram, Alang and Aliaga. The central story this week is a growing imbalance between strong recycling demand and limited vessel supply. Buyers across the Indian sub-continent remain active and yards have available capacity, but ageing ships are continuing to earn attractive returns in the freight market, giving shipowners fewer reasons to sell vessels for recycling. Pakistan remains at the top of the ship recycling price rankings, with Gadani indications around USD 520 per LDT for dry bulk, USD 540 per LDT for tankers and USD 550 per LDT for containers. The exceptional buying surge seen earlier in August has cooled slightly as local steel prices corrected, but recycling appetite remains healthy. The container vessel Visakha and tanker Lyra have now arrived at Gadani, bringing physical tonnage to a market that recently reached the top of the price board while having very few vessels on the beach. Bangladesh remains competitive, with Chattogram indications around USD 500 per LDT for dry bulk and USD 520 per LDT for tankers. Several previously secured vessels were delivered during the latest tide window, while the 27,824 LDT FPSO Glow arrived at Chattogram. However, fresh vessel sales remain limited, meaning recyclers are consuming their existing pipeline faster than owners are replenishing it. The Bangladesh market also continues to deal with the aftermath of the recent tragic recycling-yard accident. Government and environmental authorities are investigating the incident, with operations at the affected facility suspended pending findings, clearances and corrective measures. In India, Alang continues to build momentum through specialist, green, compliance-sensitive and higher-value tonnage. The 18,848 LDT LPG carrier Ble In arrived during the week, while local steel strengthened to around INR 41,000 per ton. India remains behind Pakistan and Bangladesh on conventional ship recycling prices but continues to demonstrate an ability to attract vessels that do not trade purely according to the standard sub-continent price board. The wider shipping market is also influencing recycling supply. The Baltic Dry Index rallied above 3,100, with Capesize markets leading the advance, while healthy Panamax, Supramax and tanker earnings continue to give ageing vessels profitable trading alternatives. For ship recyclers and cash buyers, strong freight remains one of the biggest obstacles to increasing recycling supply. The episode also examines the impact of new U.S. sanctions against Iran, particularly their implications for shipping registries, vessel ownership structures, trading histories, banking exposure and sanctions compliance. For shipowners and cash buyers, the key issue is not simply whether more vessels become recycling candidates, but whether those vessels can be safely, compliantly and commercially transacted. In Turkey, Aliaga recycling prices remain around USD 262 to USD 284 per LDT, while the Turkish Lira continues into record territory above 48 to the U.S. Dollar. Turkey remains focused on EU regulation, Basel Convention compliance and specialist recycling rather than competing directly with South Asian destinations on conventional pricing. This episode explains what these developments mean for shipowners, cash buyers, ship recyclers, shipbrokers, shipping companies and maritime investors, including why strong freight earnings are restricting recycling supply, why executable tonnage is becoming increasingly valuable, and how sanctions and compliance can influence where a vessel can actually be delivered. Key topics covered: global ship recycling market 2026, ship recycling prices, cash buyer market, Pakistan ship recycling, Gadani recycling market, Bangladesh ship recycling, Chattogram recycling market, India ship recycling, Alang recycling market, Turkey ship recycling, Aliaga recycling market, tanker recycling, LPG carrier recycling, FPSO recycling, Iran shipping sanctions, U.S. secondary sanctions, sanctions compliance, vessel ownership structures, Baltic Dry Index, Capesize freight rates, tanker earnings, steel prices, vessel supply, recycling tonnage, green ship recycling and maritime market analysis.

Recorded at Posidonia 2026 in Greece, this episode of the Seatrade Maritime podcast features correspondent Gary Howard in conversation with Maria Kyratsoudi, business development director, Greece, at ABS.Together they explore how Greek shipowners are responding to tightening IMO and EU regulations, and why energy efficiency and performance optimisation are taking priority over early bets on alternative fuels.In this episode:ABS as “Greece's trusted class” How ABS's role has evolved from traditional classification to technical and sustainability advisor.Expanded engineering, sustainability, and advisory capabilities for Greek clients.Newbuilding trends in the Greek fleetStrong increase in tanker, VLCC/Suezmax, and bulk carrier orders, with LNG and LPG also in the mix.How owners are aligning fleet renewal with regulatory and commercial pressures.Decarbonisation and regulation: IMO + EU Why Greek owners are looking at the combined impact of IMO and EU rules rather than single regulations in isolation.The drive for energy efficiency upgrades, fuel readiness, and robust compliance documentation.Efficiency first, fuels later Why the immediate focus is on energy efficiency and performance optimisation for both newbuilds and retrofits.Making vessels more commercially attractive through measurable real‑world gains.Digitalisation and data How regulatory demands for accurate data are pushing pragmatic adoption of digital tools.The link between digitalisation and decarbonisation, and using performance data to support charterers and financiers.

Na slovenskom online autobazáre Autobazar.EU sa aktuálne nachádza 250 inzerátov osobných vozidiel s nájazdom nad 400-tisíc kilometrov – teda áut, ktoré prešli vzdialenosť rovnajúcu sa viac než desiatim cestám okolo Zeme. Analýza tejto ponuky ukazuje jasný vzorec: v lukratívnom klube suverénne dominuje diesel a spomedzi značiek najčastejšie Škoda, konkrétne model Octavia. Analýzu vypracoval motoristický novinár Erik Stríž.Diesel má drvivú prevahuZo skúmaných 250 inzerátov má až 227 vozidiel, teda 90,8 %, naftový motor. Benzínových áut je len 18 (7,2 %) a zvyšných päť jazdí na LPG v kombinácii s benzínom.Tento pomer len potvrdzuje dlhodobo známy fakt, že naftové motory – najmä osvedčené jednotky typu 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI, TDCi či CDI – boli po desaťročia konštruované s dôrazom na vysoké ročné nájazdy a dlhú životnosť motora, čo z nich robilo prirodzenú voľbu pre firemné vozové parky, taxislužby aj vodičov s dennou dochádzkou na veľké vzdialenosti.Benzínové motory sa medzi autami s vysokým nájazdom objavujú výrazne zriedkavejšie, hoci analýza ukazuje, že pokiaľ sa už na takom vysokom kilometrovníku objavia, ich priemerný nájazd v tejto skupine nie je nižší než pri dieseloch.Škoda a Volkswagen spolu tvoria tretinu ponukyZastúpenie značiek jednoznačne kopíruje ich dlhodobú obľubu na slovenskom trhu. Najviac inzerátov patrí Volkswagenu (42) a Škode (41), spolu teda takmer tretina (33 %) všetkých vozidiel s nájazdom nad 400-tisíc km. Nasleduje Mercedes-Benz (32 áut, 12,8 %), Audi (22), BMW (18), Ford a Volvo (po 12) a Renault (10). Zvyšok ponuky je rozdelený medzi desiatky ďalších značiek.Pri pohľade na konkrétne modely jednoznačne vyniká Škoda Octavia – tvorí až 68 % všetkých inzerátov tejto značky (28 zo 41) a s veľkým náskokom je najčastejším modelom na trhu vysokých nájazdov vôbec.Druhá je Škoda Superb (11 kusov). Medzi ďalšie najfrekventovanejšie modelové rady patria Volkswagen Passat, Mercedes-Benz Triedy E, Audi A6, BMW radu 5, Volkswagen Golf a Volkswagen Sharan.Ide prevažne o modely strednej a vyššej strednej triedy, ktoré boli po dlhé roky obľúbenou voľbou firemných flotíl a nemeckého aj domáceho dovozu.Priemerný vek 15 rokov, no výnimky idú aj proti prúduPriemerný rok výroby skúmaných vozidiel je 2011, čo zodpovedá priemernému veku približne 15 rokov. Najstarším zastúpeným vozidlom je BMW radu 3 z roku 1987, no zaujímavosťou je, že hranicu 400-tisíc kilometrov v ponuke prekonalo aj niekoľko výrazne mladších vozidiel z rokov 2020 až 2023 – typicky ide o bývalé firemné, lízingové alebo dovozové vozidlá s intenzívnym ročným nájazdom.Priemerný nájazd v celej skupine dosahuje 456-tisíc kilometrov, medián je 437-tisíc km. Podľa značiek dosahuje najvyšší priemerný nájazd Mercedes-Benz (takmer 500-tisíc km), nasledovaný Volvom a Škodou. Tento údaj je však potrebné čítať opatrne – nejde o dôkaz vyššej technickej odolnosti konkrétnej značky, keďže vzorka odráža len aktuálnu ponuku inzerátov, nie štatistiku skutočnej životnosti vozového parku.Kombi je kráľom vysokých nájazdovZ hľadiska karosérie jednoznačne prevažujú kombi vozidlá (31 % ponuky) – logicky, keďže ide o karosériu tradične spájanú s vyšším ročným nájazdom, firemným využitím aj rodinami s deťmi. Nasledujú sedan (19 %) a SUV (15 %), pričom zvyšok ponuky tvoria dodávky, MPV, hatchbacky a iné typy karosérií.Manuálna prevodovka mierne prevažuje nad automatickou (57 % oproti 41 %), pričom zvyšné 2 % tvoria iné alebo neuvedené typy, čo opäť súvisí s vekom vozidiel – automatické prevodovky sa v nižších a stredných triedach masovo presadili až v poslednej dekáde.Čo z toho vyplýva pre kupujúcichAnalýza potvrdzuje, že diesel spojený s osvedčenými modelmi ako Škoda Octavia, Volkswagen Passat či Mercedes Triedy E si dodnes drží povesť „nezničiteľného" auta schopného zvládnuť aj státisíce kilometrov.Zároveň treba pripomenúť, že vysoký nájazd sám osebe nehovorí nič o technickom stave konkrétneho kusu – rozhodujúca je história servisu, kvalita údržby a doklady o priebehu najazdených kilometrov. Pri kúpe vozidla s nájazdom nad 400-tisíc kilometrov preto odborníci odporúčajú dôkladnú kontrolu histórie vozidla a vykonanie komplexného preverenia vozidla nezávislým technikom.K metodike analýzyAnalýza vychádza z ponuky portálu Autobazar.EU k 8. júlu 2026 – z filtra osobných vozidiel s nájazdom od 400 000 km (250 inzerátov). Zastúpenie značiek, paliva, karosérie a prevodovky vychádza z celej množiny 250 inzerátov, podrobnejšie štatistiky nájazdu podľa modelov zo vzorky 236 z nich. Zvyšné inzeráty boli z hodnotenia vylúčené, keďže išlo o evidentné chybne uvedené údaje alebo mali iné vážne dôvody na nezaradenie do výberu.

Over the past 18 months, Gulf Coast dock capacity capable of handling either LPG or ethane has grown significantly. It's something relatively new called “flex capacity,” and it's a darned good thing it's online. Without it, both LPG and ethane export capacity would already be maxed out.

Enduring uncertainty about prospects for a recovery in strait of Hormuz gas carrier transits continue to cloud LPG market outlooks following a resumption of conflict in the Middle East.    This episode of  Global LPG Conversations, was recorded on 8 July as initial hopes of a return to normality on the US-Iran memorandum of understanding were beginning to fade in the wake of renewed air strikes exchanged in the region. And it sees Peter Wilton (Editor, Argus International LPG) speak with Waldemar Jaszczyk (Deputy Editor, European Pricing) and Jack Greenwood (Head of LPG Consulting) in an attempt to explain how markets and prices have fared in recent weeks and understand what a path back from months of strait of disruption to global supply would look like if peace can return once more.    They examine how Asia absorbed the initial shock, why northwest Europe proved more resilient than expected, and what a slower recovery through Hormuz could mean for supply, freight and pricing into the heating season.

VOV1 - Tình hình Trung Đông tiếp tục diễn biến phức tạp khi Mỹ và Iran cáo buộc lẫn nhau vi phạm thỏa thuận ngừng bắn, đồng thời gia tăng các hoạt động quân sự tại khu vực Vịnh Ba Tư, làm dấy lên lo ngại về nguy cơ bất ổn đối với an ninh năng lượng và hàng hải toàn cầu.Bộ Tư lệnh Trung tâm Mỹ (CENTCOM) cho biết đã tiến hành không kích các cơ sở radar và giám sát ven biển của Iran tại Goruk, Sirik và đảo Qeshm sau khi bắn hạ 4 máy bay không người lái mà Mỹ cho là đe dọa hoạt động hàng hải tại eo biển Hormuz. Phía Mỹ khẳng định đây là hành động tự vệ nhằm bảo vệ tuyến vận tải biển chiến lược của thế giới.Ngay lập tức, Bộ Ngoại giao Iran lên tiếng cáo buộc Mỹ vi phạm thỏa thuận ngừng bắn ngày 8/4 sau các cuộc không kích kể trên. Iran cho rằng động thái của Mỹ không chỉ đi ngược các nguyên tắc của luật pháp quốc tế mà còn làm gia tăng nguy cơ bất ổn tại Trung Đông. Iran đồng thời kêu gọi Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hợp Quốc và các tổ chức quốc tế có biện pháp xử lý kịp thời, đồng thời cảnh báo Mỹ sẽ phải chịu trách nhiệm đối với mọi hậu quả phát sinh từ các hành động mà Iran coi là trái pháp luật. Người dẫn chương trình tin tức của IRIB đọc thông cáo của Bộ Ngoại giao Iran nêu rõ:“Việc Mỹ liên tục vi phạm thỏa thuận ngừng bắn một lần nữa cho thấy quốc gia này không chỉ thiếu thiện chí giảm thiểu căng thẳng và quay trở lại con đường ổn định, mà còn đang đặt an ninh khu vực vào nguy cơ bất ổn nghiêm trọng thông qua các hành động phiêu lưu mạo hiểm của mình.”Lực lượng Vệ binh Cách mạng Hồi giáo Iran (IRGC) cũng vừa tuyên bố đã tiến hành các đòn tấn công nhằm vào các mục tiêu quân sự của Mỹ tại Bahrain và Kuwait để trả đũa.Trong bối cảnh căng thẳng gia tăng, Mỹ được cho là đã âm thầm hỗ trợ hơn 100 tàu thương mại đi qua eo biển Hormuz an toàn trong thời gian gần đây. Các biện pháp được áp dụng bao gồm điều phối bằng trực thăng quân sự, hạn chế tín hiệu định vị và triển khai các kênh liên lạc bảo mật nhằm giảm nguy cơ bị theo dõi hoặc tấn công.Trên mặt trận kinh tế, Bộ Tài chính Mỹ công bố các lệnh trừng phạt mới nhằm vào một mạng lưới bị cáo buộc xuất khẩu khí dầu mỏ hóa lỏng (LPG) của Iran sang Nam Á và Đông Nam Á thông qua các công ty bình phong tại Các Tiểu vương quốc Ả Rập Thống nhất và Trung Quốc. Phía Mỹ cho rằng mạng lưới này đã che giấu nguồn gốc hàng hóa để né tránh các biện pháp cấm vận.Trước những lo ngại về nguy cơ bất ổn đối với an ninh năng lượng và hàng hải toàn cầu, Nga kêu gọi duy trì sự ổn định của thị trường năng lượng thế giới. Tổng thống Vladimir Putin nhấn mạnh Nga đang phối hợp với OPEC+ nhằm bảo đảm cân bằng cung - cầu dầu mỏ, đồng thời cảnh báo những gián đoạn nguồn cung từ khu vực Trung Đông có thể làm gia tăng biến động trên thị trường quốc tế.Các nỗ lực ngoại giao hiện vẫn đang được đẩy mạnh. Bộ trưởng Nội vụ Pakistan Mohsin Naqvi đã tới Tehran để tiến hành vòng tiếp xúc mới với giới chức Iran, trong bối cảnh Pakixtan tiếp tục đóng vai trò trung gian nhằm giảm căng thẳng giữa Mỹ và Iran.Tuy nhiên, triển vọng đạt được một thỏa thuận lâu dài giữa Mỹ và Iran vẫn đang đối mặt nhiều trở ngại. Iran khẳng định tiến trình đàm phán không thể tách rời tình hình Lebanon và yêu cầu chấm dứt các hoạt động quân sự liên quan tới Hezbollah. Trong khi đó, Mỹ mong muốn tập trung vào việc duy trì an ninh hàng hải, kéo dài lệnh ngừng bắn và mở đường cho các cuộc thương lượng về chương trình hạt nhân của Iran.

This week we talk about the Merchant Marine Act, trade routes, and incentives.We also discuss Wesley Jones, foreign competition, and artificial monopolies.Recommended Book: The Quantum Thief by Hannu RajaniemiTranscriptIn 1920, the then-Senator for the state of Washington, Wesley Jones, who was also the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, introduced the Merchant Marine Act as a method by which the American merchant marine could be sustained and remain competitive in the face of external competition, and in the wake of the destruction of a bunch of ship during WWI.The US Merchant Marine is all the commercial water-going vessels that are US flagged, and the crews of these vessels. During peacetime, these boats and ships conduct trade and other services along the United States' coasts and throughout its internal waterways, its rivers and lakes. During wartime, these vessels and their crews are tapped to help move troops and weapons and supplies for offensive or defensive military efforts.The theory of this proposed Act, then, was to ensure that the US Merchant Marine would remain well-funded and well-taken-care-of, because lacking some kind of government support, there was a good chance it would either slowly degrade, not having enough business to pay for itself, or—and this has been a persistent concern for similar pseudo-fleets of merchant vessels around the world for the past few hundred years—it would fall into disrepair because it would be outcompeted by vessels and crew coming in from elsewhere that would charge lower prices, creating unsustainable economics for the locals and thus slowly degrading this economic and military asset.When this Act was proposed, in 1920, the preservation of this asset was on the mind of many US politicians, as the world had just emerged from World War I, and in that and previous conflicts, the US Merchant Marine had been pretty vital to ensuring the US eventually came out on the right side of things. It was also fundamental to the rebuilding of the US economy following difficult conflicts, because the moving of cargo from city to city along coastlines, and throughout long expanses of rivers—getting food from place to place, getting building supplies where they need to go—has always been important, especially following periods in which there isn't a lot of building going on, and when supplies chains are reoriented toward other purposes, like fighting.So in addition to all the language the helps regulate trade within US waters and between US ports, and which says how the crew of such vessels have to be treated, this Act was also meant to provide protected status to US Merchant Marine vessels and crew, giving them a pseudo-monopoly on certain types of trade activities in the US.It was also—and this is important context—meant to give Senator Jones' state of Washington a de facto monopoly on trade with Alaska. But it was sold to the rest of Congress and the country as a means of bolstering the funds flowing into the US Merchant Marine. Section 27 of this act, often called the Jones Act, requires that all goods transported between US ports be carried by US vessels built in the US, flying the US flag, owned by US citizens and with majority US citizen and permanent US resident crews.What I'd like to talk about today are the other consequences of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, and in particular the Jones Act component of it, and why there's been renewed opposition to the Jones Act in recent months.—The logic of the Jones Act, at least on the surface, is pretty straightforward.If you're worried about foreign competition coming in and taking all the shipping jobs, swooping in from areas where crews aren't paid as much, and where ships can be built cheaper, so they can charge less than US-made and -manned ships, all you have to do is require all the ships and people on the ships are of US-origin, and you're good to go. Those foreign competitors aren't allowed to take the jobs, and that sets the standards in a different place, allowing US vessels and their crew and owners to charge whatever they need to charge to sustain themselves.This, in theory at least, should also stimulate the US ship-building industry, as that monopoly means anyone who builds new ships stands a pretty good chance of making their money back. After all, there's no dramatically cheaper competition out there, so you've got relatively little downward price pressure and seemingly plenty of customers, because there's a lot of US coast, and a lot of internal waterways that have traditionally be used for trading purposes.In practice, though—and this isn't uncommon with protectionist measures; things that seem like they should work for the intended purpose actually leading to other, less ideal outcomes—the Jones Act is often blamed for increasing prices on pretty much everything, and for increasing prices dramatically in places like Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other US territories, like American Samoa and Guam, that are reliant on imports to survive.If open competition isn't allowed, prices don't tend to go down, and in fact they can instead go up, especially if the number of entities providing these services drops over time.That means places without other options, without the ability to ship food and electrical equipment and other such fundamentals using highways or regularly flying, large cargo planes, they are forced to pay increasingly high cargo ship prices, instead. And there's no chance that a competitor will emerge, because there just aren't enough ships available to haul all the stuff these places need at a regular, sustaining, cost-effective cadence.These higher prices are kind of built into the monopoly model, but they're made even worse by the state of the US shipbuilding industry, which for a while, from about the mid-1800s until the mid-20th century, was top of the line, producing more ships than any other country during WWII, and before that churning out some of the best and fastest ships in the world for trade purposes.But after the two world wars, and a surge in shipbuilding infrastructure that was rapidly deployed in the first half of the 20th century, US government subsidies for the industry began to dry up, many of the ships built during the war were sold to foreign countries and private owners for a quick buck, and most of that infrastructure was mothballed, the more efficient processes it developed decommissioned in favor of less-efficient, more expensive approaches.During WWI, the US churned out more then 5,000 ships at the over 100 shipyards it had operating at the time, and was able to produce more naval tonnage in three years than it had produced in the entire history of the nation's existence, up till that point.Post-WWI, though, the US was already less efficient than foreign competitors, especially European competition, and post-WWII, the emergence of overland infrastructure in the US, like the burgeoning national highway system, made shipping via trucks increasingly competitive with the previously dominant approach of shipping via internal waterways.Airline shipping became a competitor, too, around that same time. So the technological developments and new overland infrastructure of the post-World War era meant that in the US, although coastal shipping in particular remained a solid option for many types of shipping, using trucks on the nation's growing highway system usually ended up being cheaper and easier, and in some cases much faster, too, and eventually air cargo became even more competitive for some types of jobs and clientele.The oil crises of the 1970s amplified this trend, collapsing the market for oil tanker ships and seriously damaging the overall shipbuilding industry, including in the US. Even with new US government subsidies meant to support the flailing industry, building ships in the US usually just didn't make much economic sense, the cost of building on US soil costing nearly twice as much as it did in some foreign ports.During the Reagan administration, even those 1930s-era subsidies were dropped, and that led to further collapse in the US shipbuilding industry. Before the end of these subsidies, the US was producing about 20 commercial ships per year, already a catastrophic drop from the World Wars era, but after the end of the subsidies, it produced five commercial vessels in the next eight years, combined.Some new subsidies were introduced in the 90s, when the Cold War ended, but the industry was in such bad shape at that point, orders from the US military and from commercial traders often went unfulfilled, or went wildly over budget. Some ships were finished, but riddled with so many flaws that they were unusable.US shipbuilders blamed foreign government subsidies, claiming they were really bad at their jobs because other countries were giving their shipbuilding entities more money to exist, and President Bill Clinton was able to secure an agreement with many of the US's trading partners to temper these subsidies a bit, in response to those complaints. Though when US shipbuilders realized this agreement would also mean they would lose some of their subsidies, in the tradeoff, they switched to campaigning against it, and the US ultimately wasn't involved in that agreement.The US's shipbuilding efforts improved a bit in the late-90s and early 2000s, but efforts elsewhere were better, and while the US produced about 3% of all commercial shipping tonnage, of all trade-related naval vessels, basically, in the early 1970s, by 1999, that was down to 0.25% of global tonnage.At this point, following that aforementioned agreement to reduce subsidies and others like it, much of the world's shipbuilding industries are on pretty solid footing without government support, while the US's is protected by the Jones Act, and very much not in solid shape; it's completely uncompetitive and wildly unproductive, and this has led to many secondary, knock-on issues, like increased prices, especially in places like Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, but this actually reportedly costs the US economy something like 0.1 to 0.4% of its total GDP, so about $31.8 billion to $127.4 billion each year. And it's also hobbled our efforts to invest in things like offshore wind farms and other such infrastructure, because we simply don't have enough ships in operation to do that sort of thing. These ships also just cost so much to use, even when they're available, that the price of shipping and deploying things is overwhelming, especially compared to doing the same in other countries.In mid-March of 2026, the second Trump administration issued a Jones Act waiver for some types of product, including energy products, fertilizer, and related inputs, like ammonia. That means on an emergency basis, foreign-flagged, built, and staffed ships can operate in US waters, bringing these types of trade goods from US port to US port, without penalty.Within just two months of the waiver going into effect, dozens of foreign vessels entered the US trade market, reinforcing slumping trade routes and even creating new ones. The Gulf Cost to West Coast route has proved to be especially popular, seeing four times the trade activity from the Gulf to California in just those two months as we previously saw over the whole of 2025, combined, and a an entirely new route emerged, too, shipping naphtha from California to Texas.More shipping also arose between the US mainland and Puerto Rico, bringing propane to Puerto Rico in a usable volume for the first time because there are no liquified petroleum gas tankers in the Jones Act fleet; this meant that despite the large amounts of LPG produced in the US, Puerto Rico usually has to import their LPG from Chile and other foreign sources; this waiver allowed them to get it from the US mainland, instead.In April of this year, the Trump administration announced a 90-day extension of the Jones Act waiver. This waiver is intended to help moderate surging prices on all sorts of good, especially energy products, at a moment in which the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has created shortages of such products on global markets. That shortage has stoked inflation, all over the place, but especially in the US, hence this effort to temper that inflation; it is an election year in the US, after all.The waiver seems to be helping, in some limited regards at least, and it's providing all sorts of data for groups that oppose it, illuminating what seems to be latent demand for such trade routes, that demand typically unmet because of the limitations of the Jones Act on waterway and coastal trade in the US; there just aren't enough US-made and created and flagged ships performing this kind of trade because of that artificial monopoly.The American Maritime Partnership, however, which is a lobbying group put together by the US domestic maritime industry, recently launched an ad campaign aimed at ending the waiver, saying, basically, that the Jones Act protects the US maritime industry from unfair foreign competition, and that it protects the US from foreign threats that might otherwise infiltrate and negatively impact US markets; the implication being that terrorists or some such might come to the US with trade vessels, and then wreak havoc by doing terrorist things via these vessels, or maybe use them to bring more drugs into the country.Given the power such lobbying groups have in the US, there's a solid possibility that when an agreement is eventually reached with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, and if global trade then returns to something like its previous default, this waiver will go away. That would be the politically expedient move by the Trump administration, because most people don't know enough about the Jones Act to care, but the maritime industry very much does, as without this artificial monopoly, they would probably be required to fundamentally change if they wanted to stay alive.There's evidence that getting rid of the Jones Act permanently might be beneficial on multiple fronts, especially in terms of inflation and overall economics, but also in terms of forcing the US maritime industry to make those costly, foundational changes. Despite the many possible benefits of doing away with this act, though, the ‘protect our borders from foreign invaders' aspect of the Jones Act might be enough to sway this administration toward fully reinstating it as soon as the conflict in Iran and inflation allows.Show Noteshttps://apnews.com/article/jones-act-trump-trade-abcac596db839bff3679b3117d2e81b2https://www.cato.org/blog/jones-act-waiver-data-reveals-universe-blocked-american-tradehttps://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2019/04/local-content-requirements-and-their-economic-effect-on-shipbuilding_f81e0027/90316781-en.pdfhttps://www.cato.org/blog/jones-act-contributes-offshore-wind-growing-painshttps://www.engine.online/news/us-maritime-group-urges-end-to-jones-act-waiver-7c1bhttps://gcaptain.com/chinese-cosco-tanker-delivers-asphalt-to-connecticut-under-jones-act-waiver/https://gcaptain.com/jones-act-waiver-reshapes-u-s-oil-trade-as-foreign-tankers-flood-domestic-routes/https://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/jonesact.asphttps://www.winston.com/en/legal-glossary/what-is-the-jones-acthttps://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/jones-act-burden-america-can-no-longer-bearhttps://www.atlasnetwork.org/articles/the-jones-act-is-costly-harmful-and-dangeroushttps://www.maritime.dot.gov/ports/domestic-shipping/domestic-shippinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Marine_Act_of_1920https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Merchant_Marinehttps://www.cato.org/blog/jones-act-contributes-offshore-wind-growing-pains This is a public episode.

Why US butane is in high demand across Asia and what growing export volumes mean for prices, trade flows and infrastructure plans. The war in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz blockade have shaken LPG trade flows, sending delivered butane prices in Asia to multi-year highs and leaving buyers racing to secure alternative supply. US producers and exporters are stepping in fast—but can export capacity and logistics keep up with this unprecedented demand? Host Anu Agarwal (Vice President, Business Development, Argus Oil in Asia) is joined by Amy Strahan (Editor, LPG North America) to examine how Gulf Coast terminals and Mont Belvieu storage are operating at full capacity to keep cargoes moving, and why looming bottlenecks could reshape prices and trade flows in the months ahead.

Shane Jones says many businesses won't survive without help moving away from natural gas. The Government's setting money aside in Thursday's Budget to back loans for firms transitioning to other forms of energy. The Associate Energy Minister told Mike Hosking many industries reliant on natural gas have been seeing their energy costs surge. He says unless the Crown steps in, many face dire options and will fail. Recipients can transition to any other type – not necessarily renewable energy. Jones told Hosking it's up to each business what they use. He says some may go towards LPG, some to electricity if local lines company can cope, and some to coal.

The global oil market still runs on a horribly fragmented system where physical barrels, paper contracts, and financial settlement operate in parallel but disconnected layers. Transactions are dependent on manual processes, emails, PDFs, and handshake relationships built over decades. For a trillion dollar industry, the core trading infrastructure remains slow, opaque, and largely inaccessible for all but the largest players.  This creates real operational and financial constraints. Settlement delays can stretch to 90 days, tying up working capital and exposing companies to liquidity risk. Market access is hobbled by lengthy know-your-customer  processes and high barriers to entry. Here in the spring of 2026, with the Strait of Hormuz blocked, these inefficiencies add up to systemic challenges that will make eventual recovery much harder than it needs to be.   It's time for a new approach, one that digitizes the physical barrel itself. By tokenizing crude oil into smaller, tradable units, markets can accelerate settlement, improve transparency, and broaden participation. Imagine a token that represents a real, physical quantity of oil, enabling traceability across the supply chain and creating a new layer of market visibility. This also opens the door to fractional ownership and new forms of capital access that were previously unavailable.  In this episode, I am speaking with Baron Lamarre, co-founder of INDEX, the International Digital Exchange, about how tokenization could fundamentally reshape oil trading. We explore the inefficiencies of today's system, the mechanics of turning barrels into digital assets, and why this shift could materially improve cash flow, transparency, and market access across the energy sector.

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:03:36] Philippines Declares National Emergency — Fuel Supplies Measured in Days, Not Months The Philippines has declared a national state of emergency due to war-related supply chain disruptions. Jet fuel reserves are down to 38 days, LPG to 23 days, with the IEA confirming the current disruption already exceeds the combined supply losses of both 1970s oil shocks. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:09:25] US Only Has Two Months of Rare Earths Left — Trump Cut the Supply Chain Before Securing a Domestic Source China's rare earth embargo following Trump's tariff war has left the US with approximately two months of the materials needed to manufacture precision guided weapons — the same weapons being consumed at record rates in the Iran campaign — with no domestic replacement source established. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:14:24] The Real Strategic Goal: US Control of All Major Oil Export Resources Outside Russia Analysis presented argues that the war's actual objective is to use Iran's destruction of Gulf State infrastructure as a pretext for the US to seize control of Middle Eastern oil resources — giving Washington the power to turn energy on or off for any country that resists its economic agenda. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:18:13] Bank of America Warns European Gas Could Jump 17-Fold — Mortgage-Sized Monthly Energy Bills Ahead Bank of America has warned that European natural gas prices could surge from 29 euros to as high as 500 euros this winter — a 17-fold increase — which would produce monthly energy bills potentially exceeding mortgage payments and trigger a full economic emergency across Europe and large parts of Asia. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:05] NASDAQ and NYSE Moving to Tokenize the Entire $126 Trillion Equity Market on Blockchain Wall Street's two largest exchanges are partnering with crypto platforms to tokenize the entire US equity market, with analysts warning this adds another layer of abstraction between investors and actual ownership — and that in a crisis, token holders would be last in line behind brokers and the Depository Trust Company. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:38] US Treasury Officially Declared the United States Insolvent — Media Missed It A Forbes headline reports that the US Treasury's own numbers amount to an official declaration of insolvency, with real debt estimated at $143 trillion rather than the reported $38–39 trillion when unfunded liabilities like Social Security are included. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:49] Trump Reversed on FISA 702 — Now Pushing Warrantless Surveillance He Campaigned Against Trump, who called for abolishing FISA Section 702 warrantless surveillance during his 2024 campaign, is now pushing to extend it — described as part of a broader pattern of paving the way for a police state, AI-driven technocracy, and permanent emergency powers under war conditions. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:20:00] Trump's FDA Chief Seamlessly Moved to Pfizer Board While Simultaneously on DoD Biodefense Contractor Board Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who approved COVID interventions under Trump, transitioned directly to Pfizer's board while simultaneously sitting on the board of a DoD-subsidized biomanufacturing firm — cited as the structural model now being replicated with glyphosate immunity and AI deregulation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:23:04] Joe Kent's Resignation Torches the Bridge — FBI Investigation, Graham Calls Him a Traitor Joe Kent resigned from the National Counterterrorism Center directorship amid a firestorm, with Lindsey Graham and Laura Loomer immediately branding him an anti-Semite and traitor.

Jet fuel reserves are down to 38 days, LPG to 23 days, with the IEA confirming the current disruption already exceeds the combined supply losses of both 1970s oil shocks. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:09:25] US Only Has Two Months of Rare Earths Left — Trump Cut the Supply Chain Before Securing a Domestic Source China's rare earth embargo following Trump's tariff war has left the US with approximately two months of the materials needed to manufacture precision guided weapons — the same weapons being consumed at record rates in the Iran campaign — with no domestic replacement source established. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:14:24] The Real Strategic Goal: US Control of All Major Oil Export Resources Outside Russia Analysis presented argues that the war's actual objective is to use Iran's destruction of Gulf State infrastructure as a pretext for the US to seize control of Middle Eastern oil resources — giving Washington the power to turn energy on or off for any country that resists its economic agenda. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:18:13] Bank of America Warns European Gas Could Jump 17-Fold — Mortgage-Sized Monthly Energy Bills Ahead Bank of America has warned that European natural gas prices could surge from 29 euros to as high as 500 euros this winter — a 17-fold increase — which would produce monthly energy bills potentially exceeding mortgage payments and trigger a full economic emergency across Europe and large parts of Asia. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:05] NASDAQ and NYSE Moving to Tokenize the Entire $126 Trillion Equity Market on Blockchain Wall Street's two largest exchanges are partnering with crypto platforms to tokenize the entire US equity market, with analysts warning this adds another layer of abstraction between investors and actual ownership — and that in a crisis, token holders would be last in line behind brokers and the Depository Trust Company. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:38] US Treasury Officially Declared the United States Insolvent — Media Missed It A Forbes headline reports that the US Treasury's own numbers amount to an official declaration of insolvency, with real debt estimated at $143 trillion rather than the reported $38–39 trillion when unfunded liabilities like Social Security are included. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:49] Trump Reversed on FISA 702 — Now Pushing Warrantless Surveillance He Campaigned Against Trump, who called for abolishing FISA Section 702 warrantless surveillance during his 2024 campaign, is now pushing to extend it — described as part of a broader pattern of paving the way for a police state, AI-driven technocracy, and permanent emergency powers under war conditions. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:20:00] Trump's FDA Chief Seamlessly Moved to Pfizer Board While Simultaneously on DoD Biodefense Contractor Board Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who approved COVID interventions under Trump, transitioned directly to Pfizer's board while simultaneously sitting on the board of a DoD-subsidized biomanufacturing firm — cited as the structural model now being replicated with glyphosate immunity and AI deregulation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:23:04] Joe Kent's Resignation Torches the Bridge — FBI Investigation, Graham Calls Him a Traitor Joe Kent resigned from the National Counterterrorism Center directorship amid a firestorm, with Lindsey Graham and Laura Loomer immediately branding him an anti-Semite and traitor.

Our Asia Energy Analyst Mayank Maheshwari discusses how the conflict in the Middle East is sending ripple effects through Asia's energy, power and food systems.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mayank Maheshwari, Morgan Stanley's research analyst covering energy markets in India and Southeast Asia.Today—how disruptions linked to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz are creating energy-related disruptions across Asia.It's Monday, March 23rd, at 8am in Singapore.To understand the scale of the impact, let's start with a simple fact: about a quarter of Asia's energy—that is oil, liquefied natural gas, and propane—comes from the Middle East, much of it flowing through a single chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz. Any disruption here affects more than just oil prices. It also hits power generation, industrial output and even food supply chains across the region.Asia hasn't seen a true energy access shock in over 50 years. So that makes this moment very critical. And with oil around $100 per barrel, stress is building in the system. Diesel margins are double pre-conflict levels. Jet fuel premiums have nearly doubled. And Dubai crude—normally cheaper than Brent historically—is now trading at a premium of more than $20 per barrel. This kind of price move signals tightening supply chains.Asia's dependence on [the] Middle East runs deep. Refiners source up to 80 percent of crude from the region, and 30–40 percent of LNG imports originate there. For major economies like India and China, roughly 40–50 percent of oil demand passes through Hormuz. It's a critical energy highway. And when flows slow, the entire system backs up.Inventories may look like a buffer. Asia holds around 65–70 days of crude. But the system reacts sooner than waiting to run out. Governments are already rationing energy, industries are cutting LNG and LPG usage, and export restrictions are limiting downstream production of fuels. The tightening has already begun.The real pressure point may not be oil, but natural gas—particularly LNG, as Qatar, which is a big supplier of Asia's LNG, has seen infrastructure damage. Asia accounts for about half of global LNG consumption, with up to 40 percent secured from the Middle East. Unlike oil, LNG has very limited buffers; in number of days, and not in months.This is where the story extends well beyond energy. Around 25 million tons per year of petrochemical capacity has been impacted, along with roughly 10 million tons of fertilizer production. Prices for key materials like polymers have risen 15–25 percent in just a few weeks, and the premiums are still rising. These inputs feed into everyday products—from cars and electronics to packaging and agriculture. Even basic services are affected, with cooking gas shortages hitting restaurants in parts of Asia.Policymakers are responding, but options are limited. Around 100 million barrels of crude has been released from reserves. Countries are securing higher-cost LNG cargoes. And many are turning back to coal for reliability despite environmental trade-offs.Ultimately, the longer this disruption persists, the more pressure builds across energy, power, chemicals, and food systems. And in a region as interconnected and import-dependent as Asia, those ripple effects spread quickly—and widely.Thanks for listening.

Gas prices rise sharply following an attack on Qatar's Ras Laffan energy complex. QatarEnergy has confirmed "extensive damage" to the plant used to convert natural gas into LPG. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz has hit some Asian countries particularly hard because of their dependence on energy supplies from the Middle East. We hear from people in the Philippines and Morocco about how they're coping with rising fuel prices.

The US President has repeated his call for other nations, particularly Nato allies, to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump says he has been surprised more world leaders were not "eager" to be involved in securing the key oil shipping route. Meanwhile, India has secured the safe passage of tankers carrying liquified petroleum gas, or LPG. Street vendors and biryani restaurant owners in Kolkata tell us how the current fuel shortages are threatening their livelihoods. And the Israeli military has now confirmed it has begun what it calls "limited ground operations" in Lebanon, as 800 000 people have been forced to flee their homes.Also: amidst a near total fuel blockade by the US, Cuba has experienced an electricity grid collapse. New figures from Interpol show that AI-enhanced scams are now almost five times more profitable than traditional methods. Researchers in Scotland have developed a way to turn discarded plastic bottles into a key medicine used to treat Parkinson's disease. Chelsea Football Club has been fined more than $14m, the Premier League's biggest ever fine, for breaking financial rules. Margareta Magnusson, who popularised the Swedish practice of Death Cleaning, has died at the age of 92.

Met vandaag: Oud-ambassadeur Stoelinga over waarom India wél LPG-tankers door de straat van Hormuz krijgt | Langst gedetineerde Nederlander na 42 jaar in VS uitgeleverd | Heet hangijzer in de gemeente Maashorst is het AZC | Schrijver Manik Sarkar doet live verslag vanaf het Boekenbal in Amsterdam | Presentatie: Simone Weimans.       

The world's biggest producer of crude oil, the Saudi firm Aramco, has warned of "catastrophic consequences" if the Straits of Hormuz is blocked for an extended period of time. But as war rages in the middle east, and attacks on shipping severely reduce the transportation of oil and gas, Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline has emerged as a critical piece of infrastructure in the global energy system. The CEO of Maersk speaks about the shipping industry's response to US/Israel war on Iran. And Leanna Byrne hears from India where a shortage of LPG is causing headaches for the food preparation industry.
