Decarbonisation in Africa
Dr Dola Oluteye of the UCL Energy Institute and The PATNA Initiative says fuels for the 2050 fleet will start as renewable electricity and be produced and bunkered near their source
The IMO Net-Zero Framework and Fund
Goran Dominioni of Dublin City University makes the case for keeping the revenue-raising element of the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework
Hydrogen Propulsion
LR’s approval of a hydrogen fuel cell retrofit for the research vessel Prince Madog marks a key step in hydrogen propulsion and shows how risk-based certification can advance alternative fuels
Alternative Fuels
Jesper Sørensen of KPI OceanConnect explains how the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has reframed the alternative fuels debate
Methanol Bunkering
The Methanol Institute’s Alexander Döll says that China has shown what early market development looks like – and he asks if global policy will keep pace
Gregory Dolan of Pivot Methanol finds that methanol bunkering is now poised for the volume growth that will make it a strong commercial proposition
Emulsion Fuels
Peter Borup of Quadrise says that the rise in bunker prices has brought the need for smart fuel cost gains into sharper focus
Liquefaction By Equivalence
Diederik Françoys explains why STX Group believes that liquefaction by equivalence will be a critical pathway for maritime decarbonisation
Operational Efficiency
Carl-Johan Åkerström of Manta Marine Technologies says that operational efficiency is the real alternative that shipping can turn to right now in order to reduce its emissions
Fuel Energy Content
Shipergy’s Daniel Rose explains why winning the price negotiation no longer means winning the deal, and what live energy data reveals about the value buyers leave on the table
Carbon Insetting
Maria Lacalle Muls of Carboninsets believes that Book and Claim will be the key to unlocking transport decarbonisation
Regulatory Compliance
Spinergie’s Sarah McLean looks at how shipping companies can turn regulatory obligation into commercial advantage
Pooling
Matt Smith of Tankers International explains how pooling can help to keep European voyages commercially attractive for tanker operators
Remote Inspection Technologies
Christophe Chauviere says that Bureau Veritas’s new drone-led Remote Inspection Techniques are transforming the industry’s approach to survey engagements
Shipyard Optimisation
Miska Merikukka of Elomatic believes that building maritime competitiveness through shipyard development and optimisation is fundamental to accelerating the energy transition
Artificial Intelligence
Steve Simms of Simms Showers shows how bunker traders and suppliers can maximise artificial intelligence without surrendering their humanity
Digital Invoicing
Oyster’s Charles Harcourt Groome and IBT’s Torsten Toedter explain why mandatory digital invoicing and format compliance are becoming unavoidable for maritime operators
