🎯What is Tetra pod ?
Tetra pod in Greek means four-legged.
These are four-legged concrete structures that are placed along coastlines to prevent erosion and water damage.
Tetrapods were first used in🇫🇷 France in the late 1940s to protect the shore from the sea.
They are typically placed together to form an interlocking but porous barrier that dissipates the power of waves and currents.
These are large structures, sometimes weighing up to 10 tonnes, and interlocked tetra pods act as a barrier that remains stable against the rocks when buffeted by waves.
For the First time Tetra pods were used in India🇮🇳 along Marine Drive in the late 1990s to break and dissipate waves and maintain the reclaimed shoreline in South Mumbai

Managers’ Index measures the performance of
the manufacturing sector and is derived from a
survey of 500 manufacturing companies.
🎯The PMI is a number from 0 to 100.
A print above 50 means expansion, while a score below that denotes contraction.
A reading at 50 indicates no change. If the PMI of the previous month is higher than the PMI of the current month, it represents that the economy is contracting.

🛳Green Shipping
*when people or goods are transported through ships using minimum resources and energy as possible, to protect the environment from the pollutants generated by the ships.
*The maritime sector emits 940 million tonnes of CO2 and contributes 2.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions, according to the European Commission.
*Ships now use heavy fuel oil which is a filtrate from crude oil distillation. Crude oil contains sulfur, and when being transported, ships release this gas.
🎯The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has taken a strong stand against these sulfur emissions and has issued the requirement IMO Sulphur 2020.
To this requirement, all ships must switch to an alternative fuel oil that emits less than 0.50% sulfur into the atmosphere from the 1st of January 2020.This can result in a 77% decrease in the ships’ SOx emissions
🎯LNG as an alternative fuel
Liquified Natural Gas is an alternative fuel option for ships. But this alternative raises many safety issues.
Using LNG as a fuel will reduce CO2 by 20%, along with considerably reducing (Sulfur oxide) SOx and(Nitrogen Oxides)NOx.
