12 years should be long enough to find a sustainable solution, so shame on all. Problem with IMO is that everything is always super fluffy, if only they knew that no-one was truly complying with the VGM rules – no more so now than they anyway were.

200,000 sounds a whole lot more than 0.003% of the global population. We seem to forget that exports from these areas do provide some good effects to improve diets and life-styles. If only we could rid them of dire corruption. But did we not forget that in coastal West Africa life expectancy is anyway only 55-60 years. Did we also forget that privately owned and operated autos kill 1,000,000 people per year.

Nothing like a good mathematical stimulation to provide fuel for a fire.
