Alternative Fuels A.P. Møller-Maersk plans to build green bunker fuel infrastructure in Southeast Asia
Maersk said it was working closely with authorities to explore opportunities in building green bunker fuel infrastructure as part of USD 500 million investments in Southeast Asia to support its future fleet.
EU ports fret they will lose business because of CO2 tax
As often happens when bureaucracies impose their ideas on industries without really understanding the implications, an interesting situation is developing in Europe, or to be more precise within the European Union (EU).
2024 will be shipping’s decarbonisation reality check
There was no shortage of regulatory headlines in 2023 – with MEPC 80 adopting a revised GHG strategy, the IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) taking effect, and the EU formally extending the Emissions Trading System (ETS) to shipping, it was the year when the conversation on decarbonisation moved from concept to implementation.
Sea Cargo Charter to align with new emission goals
The Sea Cargo Charter (SCC) will significantly revise its reporting ambition, aligning its trajectory with emission reduction goals in response to the IMO revised greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy adopted during MEPC80 in July 2023.
Green steel in shipping: How international shipping can lower emissions through progressive adoption of green steel
Current efforts in international shipping’s decarbonization focus on fuel-related emissions, however huge reductions can be achieved by progressively switching to steel with lower embodied CO₂ emissions.
“How realistic is a Wind-assisted propulsion?” – Interview with Christoph Thiem and Martin Köpke
Within a dedicated Research and Development study, we are currently evaluating the potential of wind power as a possible decarbonization measure for our future fleet.
Fuelling the Future of Shipping: Key Barriers to Scaling Zero-Emission Fuel Supply
This report highlights the top 10 barriers limiting zero-emission fuel projects from getting past the final investment decision
phase.
EU Emissions Trading System for Maritime Transport Explainied – Part 4 of 6
In the fourth article of our six-part series reviewing the changes introduced by the new EU rules set to apply from 1 January 2024, we look at the exclusions to the EU ETS, the penalties for non-compliance, and how the EU plans to address any attempts to avoid the new measures.
Shipping Companies’ Transition Pathways Remain Unclear: Technological Maturity of Alternative Fuel Poses Key Challenge for Rapid Decarbonisation
Vessel replacement and retrofitting to adapt to alternative and often more expensive fuels requires significant investments.
