As in freight and iron ore swaps, it is important to note that coking coal swap contracts are available with clearing. Clearing can currently be carried out at CME and plans are in place at SGX AsiaClear, NOS, LCH.Clearnet and ICE to add clearing for the major contracts. Clearing effectively provides counter-party default risk insurance in return for margin payments. So even if your counter-party defaults, you still get paid the value of the contract. Coking coal swaps also benefit from established indices against which swaps can be traded, with new indices being launched in recent months as interest grows. As during the development of the iron ore swap market, FIS remains openminded as to the market’s preferred choice of index provider and will work to assist the development of alternatives as needed.

The way forward

FIS believes the coking coal swaps market is at a point of change, with a shift away from long-term contracts by producers and a desire for pricing to be index-linked rather than fixed. FIS has successfully incubated liquid swap markets in freight, iron ore, fertilizers, steel and scrap and bunker fuel, experience we think can be brought to bear in coking coal. Looking ahead, we think coking coal has the potential to mirror the development of the iron ore swap market, which has quickly evolved to become a highly liquid market attracting players from financial and commodity communities. n

Convention (HKC), which had the industry up in arms over a proposed, and dropped, port calls levy to subsidise OECD-only recycling for EU-flagged ships. But while the watered-down final product might be acceptable to owners and allow EU members who haven’t done so to ratify the HKC, has it been worth the effort given that unilateral flag-based restrictions are so easily circumvented by flagging out? The HKC is a sound instrument, but the slow pace of adoption, especially by recycling nations, is only going to keep up pressure on politicians, especially M within the EU, for their own sanctions. actio aersk ha One thing that hasn’t changed – yet – is the sulphur cap for ECAs.

rror prevention is a key focus for many innovation projects in Europe and

around the world. Yet, if the focus is on error prevention, there tends to be too much control and not really a mindset to letting go. For true innovation, the ability to let go is just as important as thinking of the new. Mentally, we are accustomed to focusing on preventing errors, and on preventing failures, while actually we should also be able to let go of the major focus on errors, mistakes and failures and focus on learning from mistakes. So let me introduce the concept of the “nearling”. A nearling is a positive word for something new that was done with the right intentions, which has not – yet – led to the right result.

For a long time, there has been no right English word for this phenomenon. There

are the words “failure” or “mistake”, but they have a negative connotation.

EACI

Nearling, on the other hand, comes from “nearly” – an initiative with the right intention. The nearling sits between zero and one, between failure and success.
