Hongkong Post has recently made a significant strategic decision amid escalating tensions over international shipping tariffs. The postal service has suspended its sea freight shipments of goods to the United States and is set to halt air shipments from April 27. This move comes in response to what the service describes as "mocking" tariffs imposed by the United States.

Over recent years, the global community has increasingly focused on reducing carbon emissions. The maritime sector, often at the center of environmental debates, finds itself facing significant pressure to align with more sustainable practices. The latest measures adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) underscore the necessity for a shift towards more environmentally-friendly shipping methods.
