When you ignore #shipping emissions for too long... they crash into your front yard.
Welcome to Big Ship Energy.
Decarbonizing shipping, one meme at a time.
The world moves by ship. It’s time we noticed.

Why don't we talk about shipping?
It’s offshore
It’s boring
It’s massive
It’s easier to ignore than fix
Screw America’s birthday 🇺🇸
The real celebration? 1 month of dragging the #shipping industry harder than the IMO drags its feet.
1 meme at a time.
1 scrubber-splashed truth bomb at a time.
It ain’t much—but it’s more than the IMO’s done in 20 years.

Ships dump the equivalent of 80,000 Olympic-size pools of toxic scrubber water into the ocean every year.
Stay hydrated 💧
ALT Gru explains that ships using scrubbers reduce air pollution but dump toxic waste into the ocean instead, totalling to 80,000 Olympic-sized pools a year.
Did you know?
Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems, aka scrubbers, don’t actually clean anything. Rather, they “scrub” sulphur oxides from engine and boiler exhaust, mixing them with seawater to capture the contaminants, essentially converting air pollution into water pollution.

New policy drop! Gerald just unveiled a “Non-Binding Emissions Suggestion Framework”… in Comic Sans.
Because nothing screams serious climate action like Comic Sans and zero enforcement.
If vibes could cut CO₂ we’d all be carbon-negative by now.
Policy fluff check: UCL’s review shows voluntary pledges leave shipping off-track for IMO’s 2050 net-zero goal.

When you realise 19 LNG ships ≠ net-zero but a single H₂ ship in 2026 just set the new bar. 💅🟢

Should ships pick up the bar tab for their carbon emissions? 🍻⛴️

🚢💸 Todd Brimley IV here to inform you that offsets = innovation (just trust his yacht).
He literally launched a crypto so you can HODL while the ocean boils.
Fun fact: FlexMarine’s LNG megaships spew methane like a busted whoopee cushion— but Todd’s Davos slides use 🌱 gradients so it’s fine, right?
Markets won’t save us without real rules.
Receipts > vibes.
