Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Fishing is betting on getting rid of CO2 with hybrid engines and electric fuels

EUROPEAN UNION
Monday, November 11, 2024

Knowing as it does - because it has suffered it firsthand - that 40% of inshore fishing, 66% of deep-sea fishing and 87% of long-distance fishing were not profitable with the fuel prices reached in 2022, how could the fishing sector not want to be free of fossil fuels and decarbonize? Of course it wants to. It would do so tomorrow. Without even waiting until 2050. But it happens that this is an activity that is particularly difficult to decarbonize and it is trembling at the possibility that the European Commission will apply the same recipe to its energy transition as to other measures (attached fins, landing obligation...)
 
The last solution is presented as a good alternative to gradually abandon diesel.

(EFE) – The sinking of a 129-ton fishing vessel off the coast of Jeju Island, South Korea, on Friday has resulted in the tragic loss of two crew members, with ongoing efforts to locate 12 others, as reported by local media.

The vessel, which carried 27 crew members, included 16 South Korean nationals and 11 foreign crew members. Following the incident, 15 individuals were rescued and transported to nearby hospitals. Two South Korean crew members were found unconscious during the rescue and were later declared dead.

In response, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has directed the Coast Guard, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to mobilize all necessary resources and personnel to intensify the search and rescue efforts for the 12 remaining missing crew members.
