A new study from the Tyndall Centre at the University of Manchester highlights that CO2 emissions from existing vessels will dominate shipping’s impact on the climate, and ‘could even swallow up shipping’s entire safe carbon budget’. The research, published in the BMC Energy journal, calls for the implementation of policies which focus on decarbonising and retrofitting existing ships, rather than just relying on new, more efficient ships to achieve the necessary carbon reductions.

ABS publishes white paper on LNG as a marine fuel

The document emphasises that the bunkering process should be considered at the conceptual design stage of an LNG-fuelled vessel.
