Thanks to CHEK News for covering my push to make vessel retirement part of Canada’s marine strategy. With 900+ derelict and end-of-life vessels off B.C.’s coast, we need strong rules, First Nations partnership, good local jobs and a real ship recycling plan. #PortAlberni #ShipRecycling

Many tipped 2025 to be the year that elderly bulk carriers finally went to the breakers, but rates remain good enough to keep them in service
