Discussions on how to address maritime autonomous surface ships have begun at IMO. The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is debating how to proceed with a regulatory scoping exercise, which is expected to touch on an extensive range of issues, including the human element, safety, security, interactions with ports, pilotage, responses to incidents and protection of the marine environment, for different levels of autonomy. Speaking at the opening of the 99th session of the MSC (16-25 May), IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim said, “It is important that we remain flexible to accommodate new technologies, and so improve the efficiency of shipping - while at the same time keeping in mind the role of the human element and the need to maintain safe navigation, further reducing the number of marine casualties and incidents.” Mr. Lim also announced the formation of an inter-divisional maritime autonomous surface ships taskforce, within the IMO Secretariat, to support the work on this important matter.
Other matters on the busy MSC agenda include considering how the Polar Code provisions might be applied in the future to non-SOLAS ships, including cargo ships of less than 500 gross tonnage, fishing vessels and pleasure yachts. New and amended ships' routeing measures set to be adopted include those in the Bering Sea and Bering Strait, aimed at reducing the risks of incidents. They will be the first measures to be adopted in IMO for the Arctic region since the Polar Code entered into force on 1 January 2017.
Matters related to the goal-based ship construction standards for bulkers and oil tankers are also on the agenda. The outcomes of Sub-Committees will be considered, including various guidelines set for approval. The MSC will be updated on the reported incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships. Amendments to the SOLAS convention are set to be adopted, alongside the latest set of amendments to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

Press release
Craftivister taggar kläder under Fashion Week I Stockholm
Med hjälp av en liten finurlig pappersrulle i ditt nyköpta plagg hoppas den brittiska craftivisten (craft+activism=craftivism) Sarah Corbett att ge Stockholms modebransch en överraskande hälsning under nästa veckas Fashion Week i Stockholm. En hälsning som fungerar som en påminnelse till modeindustrin om att arbeta för bättre arbetsförhållanden och mer miljövänliga tillverkningssätt.
Tillsammans med andra craftivister i Stockholm uppmuntrar nu Sverigeaktuella Sarah Corbett alla att göra egna budskap i form av ¨mini scrolls¨. Små handskrivna meddelanden rullas och slås in med vackra band för att sedan i hemlighet placeras i klädbutiker, på modevisningarnas stolar och fashionistornas fickor.
Sarah Corbett är aktuell med utställningen Gentle Protest som visas på Handarbetets Vänners galleri. I och med utställningen arrangeras olika workshops och craftivistprojekt, bland annat finns möjligheten att göra mini scrolls. Måndag och tisdag 24-25 augusti (what time Sarah?) finns Sarah Corbett i utställningen och hjälper dig med budskapen som skall riktas till modeindustrin under branschens viktigaste vecka.
-Vi älskar skönheten och kreativiteten som modeindustrin skapar. Vi älskar att vi kan uttrycka oss själva genom kläder och att vi kan känna oss självsäkra i vad vi bär. Men vi kan inte vara likgiltiga över den fula sidan av modeindustrin. Det är fel att tänka att vi inte har någon makt att påverka och förändra. Var med oss och sträva mot en mer hållbar modeindustri! Vore det inte fantastiskt om Stockholm Fashion Week 2016 var en enda uppvisning av just tillverkade kläder? Låt oss arbeta tillsammans för att göra det en realitet, stygn för stygn, ett i taget.
Det här craftivistprojektet är ett sätt att stödja Fashion Revolution, en global rörelse som arbetar för en modeindustri som värnar människor, miljö, kreativitet och vinst i lika delar och som har som drivkraft att få alla att tillsammans arbeta för att detta ska hända.
-Fashion Week samlar hela branschen, från designer, inköpare, stylister och pr-byråer under några hektiska dagar. Den mediala uppmärksamheten är stor och det är därför ett bra tillfälle att uppmana modeindustrin att verka för en hållbarare och bättre värld. Sara Corbett har tidigare under bland annat London Fashion Week broderat budskap i små korsstygn som påverkat dialogen i den brittiska modebranschen. Det är min förhoppning att Stockholms modeelit också tar del av Sarah Corbetts Gentle Protest, säger Lotta Ahlvar vd för Handarbetets Vänner och tidigare vd för Svenska Moderådet.
Vill du veta mer om rörelsen kring craftivismen, samt om hur det går att förändra världen stygn för stygn? Välkommen till Handarbetets Vänner, torsdag 27 augusti 18.00 och till ett samtal mellan craftivisten Sarah Corbett och Frida Arnqvist Engström, journalist och författare till boken Gerillaslöjd - garngraffiti, DIY och den handgjorda revolutionen. Mer information finns här: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gentle-protest-talk-sarah-corbett-...
Fakta:
Craftivist Collective arbetar för att minska global fattigdom och humanitära oangelägenheter genom att använda handarbete och publik konst som verktyg. Detta görs genom provocerande men icke-våldsamma kreativa kampanjer. Här finns mer information om Craftivist Collective och deras sätt att arbeta: www,craftivist-collective.com. Denna globala rörelse finns skildrad i boken Gerillaslöjd, där också Sarah Corbett medverkar, se mer: www.gerillaslojd.se.
Handarbetets Vänner är en mångårig men samtida samlingsplats för broderi där utställningen Gentle Protest visas i galleriet fram till 19 september.

The mini scroll messages in swedish:
1
Om kläder kunde tala...
Vilka sagor skulle de berätta? Sagor om hur de tillverkades med kärlek, glädje och omsorg? Eller sorg, tragedi och bedrövelse?
Vad skulle dina kläder säga till dig?
2
Vad är din ‘fashion statement’?
‘Kläderna gör människan’ - vilket ansvar, eller hur?
Om våra kläder uttrycker vilka vi är, borde vi inte försöka se till att de tillverkas av textilarbetare som behandlas och betalas på ett rättvist sätt, och att jorden inte skadas av processen?
3.
Skönheten ligger inte bara i betraktarens ögon...
Den vävs in i själva tyget. Våra kläder kan aldrig vara verkligt vackra om de gömmer fulheten i att arbetarna exploateras.
Engagera dig i #FashionRevolution och kolla om dina värderingar är invävda i dina kläder.

Stockholm Craftivists secret scrolls in Fashion Week
On Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th August during Stockholm Fashion Week, people are encouraged to go to HV Galleri in Stockholm to join craftivist Sarah Corbett and others to lovingly handwrite messages onto beautiful paper and wrap them delicately in ribbon to place in clothes pockets in shops, fashion show seats and other secret places for people to find. Will you find on in your pocket?
Craftivist Sarah Corbett is in Stockholm due to her current exhibition Gentle Protest at HV Gallery, during the time of the exhibition she is running workshops and events. In time for Stockholm Fashion Week Sarah is moving her mini scrolls out on the streets: The idea behind the intriguing pretty mini scrolls is to encourage people to think about who made our clothes, help raise awareness of the true cost of fashion, show the world that change is possible and celebrate all those creating a more sustainable future of the fashion industry.
Sarah Corbett is the founder of the Craftivist Collective and said: “We love the beauty and creativity that comes from fashion. We love the fact that we can express ourselves through clothes and feel confident in what wear. But we don’t want to be indifferent about the ugly side of the fashion industry. It’s wrong to think that we don’t have any power to improve the ugly side of fashion. Please join us in celebrating our love of fashion and strive for a more sustainable fashion industry. fighting for an industry. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if SFW 2016 was a show of only exploitation-free clothes? Let’s work together to make that reality one stitch at a time”
This craftivism project (activism through craft) is also to support Fashion Revolution - a global movement who believe in a fashion industry which values people, the environment, creativity and profits in equal measure and has a mission to bring everyone together to help make this happen.
“Fashion Week gathers the entire industry , designers , buyers , stylists and pr agencies during a few hectic days. The media attention is massive and it the perfect opportunity to promote a more sustainable and better world. Sara Corbett has previously protested during London Fashion Week with embroidered message in small cross-stitch that affected the dialogue in the British fashion industry. It is my hope that Stockholm's fashion elite also takes part of Sarah Corbett Gentle Protest,” says Lotta Ahlvar president of the Association of textile arts and craft and former CEO of the Swedish Fashion Council.

The mini scroll messages in english:
1.
If clothes could talk...
What tales might they tell? Stories of how they were made with love, joy & care? Or sadness, tragedy & heartbreak?
What would your clothes say to you?
@Fash_Rev
2.
What’s your fashion statement?
“Clothes maketh the person” - that’s quite a responsiblity isn’t it? :s
If we are what we wear then shouldn’t we try to make sure that our clothes are made by garment workers who get paid well & treated with dignity & the planet is not harmed during the making of our clothes?
@Fash_Rev
3.
Beauty is not just in the eye of the beholder....
It is woven into the very fabric of the cloth. Our clothes can never be truly beautiful if they hide the ugliness of worker exploitation.
Join the #FashionRevolution & find out if your values are threaded through your clothes x

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her Cabinet are in Aberdeen today to hold a public discussion with members of the local community.
If you’re not familiar with the Russian alphabet, the letters in the photo below spell out “Lenin” and they point to the Lenin Mausoleum where Lenin’s body is on display in Moscow’s Red Square. His body has been on display almost since he died in 1924 and is being worked on every day, being injected with preservatives and in the last few years there have been a lot of discussions about finally burying him.
I took this shot during my first day in Moscow and unfortunately I didn’t get to see the mausoleum inside as the next day (for when we had tickets) I was in bed sick. Ah well, maybe some other time…
