style=\"\">American airlines are seeing their <\/span><span style=\"\">cargo revenues fall, which is actually a positive sign for the recovery of the travel industry, <\/span><span

style=\"\">CNBC<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">reports. Major US carriers, including Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airlines, have reported around 40% y-o-y drops in their 2Q 2022 cargo revenues. The drop indicates a shift from a pandemic trend that saw airlines rely on transporting goods to compensate for revenue loss, CNBC explains, adding that this points to a sign of growth and recovery in the travel sector. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Shipowners have spent some USD 47 bn for newbuild LNG carriers in the past 18 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">months<\/span><span style=\"\">, surpassing the amount spent on new containerships, Seatrade Maritime <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seatrade-maritime.com\/tankers\/shipowners-splash-out-47-billion-lng-carrier-newbuilds-18-months\" style=\"\">reports<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">. Spending on new LNG carriers since the start of 2022 is now the largest for any shipbuilding sector and represents 27% of newbuild investments. LNG newbuilds ordered this year amount to some 30 carriers worth USD 7.7 bn, according to Seatrade Maritime. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Demand for replacements, upped cargo volumes, energy security, and infrastructure requirements are driving the spike in new orders<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, according to Clarkson Research analysis cited by Seatrade Maritime. Despite hikes to shipbuilding prices, shipowners are scrambling to secure available slots between now and 2027. The trend is likely to continue as surging demand for LNG in Asia and the role of the low emission fuel in the clean energy transition boost demand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700;\">ALSO WORTH KNOWING-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\">Danish freight forwarder <\/span><span style=\"-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;font-weight:700;text-decoration-skip-ink:none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dsv.com\/\" style=\"\">DSV<\/a><\/span><span style=\"\"> has <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">upped its full-year net income guidance<\/span><span style=\"\"> due to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">bumper 2Q earnings<\/span><span> and a forecasted <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">surge in trade volumes<\/span><span>.

The study, which modeled the effects of fitting a 14k TEU container vessel and a 157k dwt Suezmax tanker with nuclear propulsion, yielded overwhelmingly positive results in terms of upped container capacity, speeds, and emissions reductions, Splash reported. The addition of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> four 5 MW, heat-pipe microreactors helped raise operational speeds, and only required refueling once during its 25-year life span. Both concept vessels would emit zero CO2, though the vessel with the four microreactors<\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">&nbsp;had decreased cargo capacity, Splash reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Despite significant potential, challenges abound:<\/span><span> A transition to nuclear propulsion in commercial shipping carries significant challenges in terms of commercializing the technology involved, financial models, and public perceptions, according to a separate <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/nuclears-place-in-the-future-fuels-debate\/\" style=\"\">Splash<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> report. Entrenched public opinion against widespread applications of nuclear energy is perhaps the most significant hurdle, with the report noting that the public \u201cfears\u201d nuclear power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Financial models are also a problem: <\/span><span>The commercial shipping sector operates in accordance with a widely-accepted arrangement whereby shipowners build, finance, maintain, and operate ships while cargo movers foot the fuel bill. A switch to nuclear power would disrupt this balance as ships would require more resources to build and operate, but would not require refueling during their lifespan, the report notes.
