Emissions on the Far-East to US-east coast trades have fallen 23.3% since Q1 18, said Xeneta despite the onset of “over-tonnaging” and a major slippage in fill factor, reports maritime gateway.

Short-term comparisons, meanwhile, reveal more drastic changes since the onset of the unique market dynamics in 2022, which skewed results in 2021-22.

“Larger ships are more efficient in terms of CO2 emissions per teu,” noted Xeneta analyst Emily Stausbøll, adding that “while causing a capacity...

A nearly 375 feet (114.2 m) long megayacht driven by methanol has been unveiled by Lürssen Yachts, a German boatbuilder well recognised for creating huge boats and yachts. The yacht, known as Project Cosmos, is now being built and should be finished by 2025.

A different approach

The marine sector is under pressure to abandon its methods for moving people and cargo that consume fossil fuels as the globe works to cut carbon emissions. Hydrogen fuel, which creates water...

What’s Maritime Industry Doing To Slash CO2 Emission?

Fossil fuel transport today is up against a grim carbon reality: if ocean shipping were a country, it would be the sixth-largest carbon emitter, releasing more CO2 annually than Germany. International shipping accounts for about 2.2% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. 

Winds of change, especially triggered by new international commerce and climate pacts and policies, could soon push us rapidly beyond carbon into a new age of sail, with the need for a planet-wide cargo fleet rebuilt from the...

Industry Calls For New Global Carbon Tax

It’s rare for any industry running on fossil fuel to call for tax on it’s own carbon emission. Yet it’s doing by shipping sector, reports Bloomberg.

Several trade groups, representing more than 90% of the world’s merchant fleet, have submitted a proposal to shipping’s United Nations regulator calling for it to prioritize a carbon tax for the industry.

Tax Idea

The Marshall Island and Solomon Island have proposed that IMO imposed tax on green house emission by ships. The proposed tax would be...

Should Partaking In Shipping Be Reconsidered For Some?

One of the advantages of working for a small company is that one gets to do everything from make the tea to take the decisions that matter, or at least be involved in them, and everything in between, reports Splash247.

Spikes in container shipping

In the build-up to the existential crisis that struck shipping in 2016 the writer was a medium-sized commercial cog in a very large machine, and frankly didn’t see it coming. Equally the early rounds of IMO 2020 passed him and many chartering managers...

How Wind Powered Cargo Ships Can Reduce 90% Emission

Two centuries after the first coal-powered steamships crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a Swedish company is designing a futuristic throwback: a huge, wind-driven cargo ship that could help end the fossil fuel era and limit climate change, reports Reuters.

Wind Power To Reduce Climate Effect?

Shipping accounted for 2.9% of man-made greenhouse gas in 2018, and the industry’s share of planet-heating emissions has been rising in recent years, according to the U.N.’s International Maritime Organization.
