Andrew Forrest's aircraft lands in Gdańsk the week of a green shipping fuel push

Andrew Forrest's Bombardier Global 7500, tail VH-FMG, was tracked flying from an origin near the Kazakhstan-China border to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport on June 24, 2026, a 6-hour 32-minute journey that touched down at 22:34 UTC. The aircraft, registered to the Fortescue chairman, crossed eastern Europe before landing on the Baltic coast.

If aboard, Andrew Forrest would arrive the same week he publicly called on China to push for a global green shipping fuel charge, per a Bloomberg report on June 23, while Fortescue also announced a charter deal for 12 ammonia-capable bulk carriers targeting 250,000 tonnes of annual CO₂ reductions, as covered by vesselperformance.info. Gdańsk, a major Polish port, sits at the heart of Baltic shipping routes—making it a fitting backdrop for the billionaire's maritime decarbonization agenda.

Forrest has been active on multiple fronts: defending Fortescue's Indigenous agreements after a $150 million compensation ruling, per ABC News on June 12, and announcing a nearly $1 billion renewable grid project for data centres, per Renew Economy on June 21. No prior flights are on file for this aircraft, so this trip stands as a rare movement tied to a concentrated week of climate and shipping announcements.
