Charterers To Go Picky Over New IMO Carbon Rules  

  • New efficiency standards to squeeze tonnage supply
  • Charterers may embrace only efficient ships
  • Onus on shipowners to face carbon conundrum

Draft amendments to the International Maritime Organization’s mandatory rules on reducing carbon in existing ships by 2023 are likely to result in new clauses in charter party agreements that could make hiring ships challenging, says an article published in Platts. 

The move is expected to give a strong push to the scrapping of old tonnage and expand the...

The Future Of LNG As A Marine Fuel

Today, LNG-fuelled vessels amount to approximately 13% of the current newbuild order book and estimates for 2021 and beyond show continuing growth in many classes of vessels, reports The Maritime Executive.

Reducing the carbon footprint 

Importantly, 2020 also saw the first uses of bio-LNG by deep-sea ocean vessels, thereby reducing the carbon footprints of these vessels.

The reasons for this expansion are clear. Ports and cities around the world are beginning to take the threat of air pollution...

The Potential for Biodiesel As a Marine Fuel

As the industry looks to prove the technical feasibility and commercial viability of fuels like ammonia, hydrogen and methanol – and ensure the safe application of electro-fuels – biodiesel is another option becoming more readily available that could provide short-term emission reductions, reports Lloyd’s Register. Reducing carbon emission

Energy efficiency measures are already being applied to varying degrees through innovative ship design, engine power, optimised speeds/navigation and the...
