Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱<p>"In a groundbreaking ruling, the Brussels Court of First Instance has not only ordered the Flemish government to block a specific container of military equipment but also banned all further transit of military material to Israel. The judge found that Flanders is systematically failing to meet its obligations under arms legislation and international treaties, and even imposed a penalty for each shipment that still goes through. Four Flemish NGOs — Vredesactie, INTAL, 11.11.11 and the League for Human Rights — who brought the case, were upheld on all counts."<br><a href="https://pers.11.be/belgian-court-bans-further-transit-of-all-military-equipment-to-israel-in-landmark-ruling" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pers.11.be/belgian-court-bans-</span><span class="invisible">further-transit-of-all-military-equipment-to-israel-in-landmark-ruling</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/weapons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weapons</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/israelApartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>israelApartheid</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/PalestinianLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PalestinianLivesMatter</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/defundIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>defundIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/armsTrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>armsTrade</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/armsCommerce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>armsCommerce</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/armsDeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>armsDeal</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/boycottIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boycottIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Belgium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Belgium</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IHL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IHL</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/judiciary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>judiciary</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ruling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ruling</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/shipping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shipping</span></a></p>

Anomalous Human<p>&gt;&gt;There has been a dramatic increase in the number of sanctioned Russian ships, known as shadow fleet vessels, sailing through Irish-controlled waters, an Irish Times investigation has found.</p><p>Nineteen of these vessels have been tracked passing through, or just outside, the Irish Economic Zone (EEZ) since May. Many of the ships have exhibited unusual behaviour such as taking economically inefficient routes or sailing well outside recognised shipping lanes.&lt;&lt;<br> <br><a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/07/21/number-of-russian-shadow-ships-in-irish-controlled-waters-rises-dramatically/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/07</span><span class="invisible">/21/number-of-russian-shadow-ships-in-irish-controlled-waters-rises-dramatically/</span></a><br><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Russia</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/ShadowFleet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShadowFleet</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/TheIrishTimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheIrishTimes</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Shipping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shipping</span></a></p>

Loki the Cat<p>Plot twist: Ships trigger seafloor methane emissions just by moving through shallow water! 🚢 It's not about fuel type - it's the pressure changes and turbulence that wake up methane from its seafloor nap, creating emissions 20x higher in shipping lanes.

Andy Arthur - Threadinburgh<p><strong>The thread about the Clyde Shipping Company, serving people and cattle on the Irish Sea for 130 years</strong></p><p>Today’s auction house artefact is this charming and rather Old Testament early 1960s advertising poster for the Clyde Shipping Company (incorporated in Scotland).</p>Clyde Shipping Company Ltd., Incorporated in Scotland<p>The name on the bow of the ark is <em>Tuskar</em>, in reference to the company’s (then) new motor vessel of that name. This ship was built for the Liverpool to Waterford service and despite the company’s name, most of its business was on the Liverpool to Ireland routes. Tuskar is a lighthouse on the rock of that name that has to be passed (and avoided) to enter the port of Waterford. Clyde Shipping Company named nearly all its ships after lighthouses.</p>The Tuskar, via <a href="https://www.shipsnostalgia.com/media/tuskar.23253/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ships Nostalgia</a><p>The <em>Tuskar </em>didn’t last long in this service, a downturn in traditional coastal shipping as it was replaced by lorries and roll-on-roll-off ferries and cheaper flights meant that she was out of service by 1968, sold to Yugoslavia as <em>Brioni</em>. She did 20 years Adriatic service before being broken up in Split in 1988.</p><p>Clyde Shipping were one of the first steamship companies, with a history going back to 1815, operating steam tugs and luggage vessels on the eponymous river and firth. The house flag, featuring a Scottish lion and Irish harp, was changed in 1924 due to the political environment. The new flag featured a lighthouse and the initials <em>CSC </em>and was based on a suggestion by a Miss Blakiston-Houston. I believe the Blakiston-Houstons were Northern Irish gentry with shipping interests.</p>Post-1924 Clyde Shipping House Flag. © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, Pope Collection<p><em>Tuskar’s </em>main purpose was to have carried live animals from Ireland to the English market. It was reported in 1967 that she carried 1,000 pigs to Liverpool after a “bacon strike” had caused a dockside build up. Perhaps that’s what inspired the poster artist to choose an ark full of farmyard animals. Such was Clyde Shipping’s focus on the Irish market that in 1912 they bought the Waterford Steamship co. and built a fine quayside office in that city, with much ornamental shamrocks and thistles in evidence.</p>Clyde Shipping office in Waterford. © Irish National Inventory of Architectural Heritage<p>Indeed the importance of Clyde Shipping to Irish trade was such that the “<em>Clyde Boats</em>” became a byword for shipping from Ireland to the ports on the eastern side of the Irish Sea. The Wateford Civic Trust have placed a blue commemorative plaque on this building to the Clyde Shipping Company which reads “<em>From this quay Clyde ships plied regularly to the ports of Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol, Plymouth and London</em>“.</p><p>While they remained important on the Clyde itself as a tugboat company, it was the Irish services that made them their money and these destinations featured prominently on advertising materials.</p>1902 Clyde Shipping advertisment<p>In December 1917, Clyde Shipping suffered a double loss on the Irish Sea route when the German submarine <em>U62</em> sank their ships SS <em>Formby </em>and then the SS <em>Coningbeg </em>within days of eachother. All hands were lost on both ships; 83 lives in total, comprising 30 crew and 9 passengers from <em>Formby </em>and 32 crew and 12 passengers from <em>Coningbeg</em>.</p><p>Back on the Clyde, the tugs later began to be given names beginning with “flying”, which were painted with the same black hulls and funnels and bronze-coloured upperworks as the company’s steamers.

This was the result of a string of safety failings on the part of the operators and Clydeport, with the former being fined £1.7 million and the latter £650,000 as a result, although inquiries and court cases took nearly 7 years to result in this outcome.</p> <p class=""><em><em>If you have found this useful, informative or amusing, perhaps you would like to help contribute towards the running costs of this site – including keeping it ad-free and my book-buying budget to find further stories to bring you – by <a href="https://ko-fi.com/andyarthur" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>supporting me on ko-fi</strong></a>.</em></em> <em>Or please do just <strong>share this <a href="https://linktr.ee/threadinburgh" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">post on social media</a></strong> or amongst friends.</em></p> <p class="">These threads © 2017-2025, Andy Arthur.</p><p class=""><strong>NO AI TRAINING:</strong> Any use of the contents of this website to “train” generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to generate text is expressly prohibited.
