Muhammad Ali
Tracks the deep-sea and aviation side of freight — fuel burn, vessel classes, route disruptions.
Muhammad covers the maritime and aviation side of the EcoFreight blog. The numbers he cares about are bunker-burn rates, CII ratings, freight-tonne-kilometres allocated to belly cargo, and what happens when a chokepoint closes for three weeks and the fleet has to take the long way around.
He spent his early career in container shipping operations, which is where the bias toward concrete numbers comes from — emissions reporting in shipping is a downstream problem from operational reality, not the other way around. Most of his posts start with a specific incident or a specific lane and work outward from there.
If you want to talk about vessel-IMO-number primary data ingestion, AIS feeds, slow-steaming policy, or what FuelEU is going to do to pool pricing in 2030, he is the right inbox.
