Laundered Air On The High Seas – IMO 2020

According to an article published in Mondaq, the shipping sector accounts for 12% of global sulphur dioxide emissions, 13% of global nitrogen oxide emissions and 3% of global carbon emissions.

Steps to control airborne emissions from ships 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Convention) with the aim of preventing pollution of the marine environment by ships. 

Regulations for the Prevention of Air...

MOL leads Zero-Emission Alternative Fuel project

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. announced that it has joined the Carbon Capture & Reuse (CCR) Study Group (Note 1) and launched the “Cross-industrial Working Group Related to Zero Emission Alternative Ship Fuels.” The working group aims to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in international shipping’s value chains by using synthetic methane (methanation fuel) as an alternative to fossil fuel, the current mainstream fuel for merchant vessels. Synthetic methane is generated by methanation technology...

Danish Innovation Drive Finds Big Emission Savings


Denmark’s largest maritime innovation project has concluded with major emission reductions for shipowners J Lauritzen and Torm and several fuel-saving machinery innovations, says an article published in Marine Propulsion.

What is the Blue INNOship programme?

The four-year Blue INNOship programme, comprising 16 technical projects with input from 40 commercial and academic organisations, has cut the two shipowners’ CO2 emissions by more than 100,000 tonnes a year.

Other highlights include the...
