Has anyone got any experience with @Pod_Point home installation? I’ve ordered and paid but the pre-installation form link didn’t work in the email and I can’t reach them by phone, DM or online.I’m totally stuck as to whether I’ll ever get one or if I’ve just thrown money away?

I’m totally obsessed by #bbnj Twitter. I’m feeling like I’m making new friends with the amazing people working all night and day and still keeping the world up to date with the negotiations. Well done everyone working so hard to get it done.
It's always good to learn about a new topic. Today's is Maritime Single Windows. What are they? Well you can read more here bimco.org/insights-and-infor… - but I will be absorbing all the information here at the @IMOHQ , @BIMCONews @WPSP_IAPH symposium- with my BIMCO bottle of course!
Today I used some familiar names for a fictional case study at work and to make it more fun asked colleagues to work out what the connection was between names. One tried to use ChatGPT to solve the puzzle with little success but the end result did make me laugh.. @deepseadawn

Wishing everyone a very Happy World Maritime Day! I shall be celebrating by learning more about how shipping might decarbonise in the future. I might even have a celebratory cake (any excuse!)
I'm looking forward to an intense and informative couple of days- lots of my favourite topics already mentioned - just in time arrivals, climate resilience, just transition- I might do a crossword by the end of the event.
