Green shipping corridors
Opening the door to zero-emission fuels and technologies
INSIDE:
SCRUBBERS
BUNKER CLAIMS
BIOFUELS
EU REGUALTIONS
Bio-LNG
- Steve Esau of SEA-LNG considers the implications of the FuelEU Maritime regulation for bio-LNG and the LNG pathway to decarbonisation more broadly
Biofuels
- The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation is leading a number of biofuels trials which are stress-testing the integrity of their respective supply chains. Dr Prapisala Thepsithar of the GCMD and Laura Ong of TotalEnergies Marine Fuels discuss their experiences and takeaways from this ‘real-time, real world’ initiative with Lesley Bankes-Hughes
Green Corridors
- Deep and broad collaboration is essential to the development of sustainable maritime networks, writes Panos Koutsourakis of ABS
- Gavin Allwright of the International Windship Association calls for an ‘energy-centric’ approach to green shipping corridors
Wind Propulsion
- Stephane Lesage of Airseas believes that wind propulsion can help to dramatically reduce the maritime sector’s carbon emissions
- Alberto Llopis Pascual of bound4blue looks at how shipping’s decarbonisation journey is taking it back to its origins, with suction sails
Alternative Fuels
- Namrata Nadkarni explains how the new Port Readiness Level tool will bridge the gaps between maritime stakeholders looking to manage decarbonisation strategies
- Minglee Hoe of the IMO reports on the work undertaken by the Low Carbon GIA in mapping the regulatory status of alternative fuels
Decarbonisation
- Victor Martinez of Baringa considers the impact that some recent key meetings – including the Our Ocean Conference in Panama – could have on shipping’s decarbonisation progress
CII
- VLCC owners are being forced to tackle a difficult trade-off between CII grades and commercial performance, but Matthew Smith of Tankers International explains how pooling can help overcome these challenges
Scrubbers
- Kashif Javaid of Wärtsilä shares his insights on the current scrubber retrofit landscape and its position in shipping’s decarbonisation trajectory
Hull Coatings
- Masato Morimoto of Nippon Paint Marine considers how marine hull coatings can provide improved operational performance, greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions
ESG
- Albert Leyson of Drew Marine assesses the continuing impact of three distinct events from 2020
EU Regulations
- The European Council and Parliament have at last hammered out the text for FuelEU Maritime. As Steve Simms of Simms Showers explains, its provisions will have a significant impact on marine fuel suppliers, not least in relation to the burden of responsibility when it comes to paying penalties
Bunker Claims
- Hamed Fathi of International Marine and Energy looks at some of the pitfalls to avoid in bunker claims handling
