Validating Fuel Savings Through Autonomous Navigation

For the first time, fuel savings achieved through autonomous navigation have been officially verified. Avikus, a leader in autonomous navigation technology, has successfully quantified fuel savings on a very large ore carrier (VLOC) operating between Singapore and Brazil, utilizing its autonomous HiNAS Control system.

3 Scenarios for Creating Australia-East Asia Green Shipping Corridor

Following the identification of iron ore shipping routes between Western Australia and East Asia as high-potential candidates for establishing a green shipping corridor powered by zero or near-zero carbon ammonia, a task force of fifteen industry representatives from across the value chain has convened under the Getting to Zero Coalition to explore the implementation of the corridor. Over the past year, the group has undertaken several activities to support its development, reports Offshore...

New Study Finds Port Readiness Key To Onboard Carbon Capture

  • Infrastructure and procedures for handling captured carbon dioxide (CO2) at ports are currently inadequate.
  • Defining clear pathways to offload, utilise, and/ or sequester CO2, is crucial for large-scale commercialisation of onboard carbon capture and storage.

A landmark study by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register and ARUP, has identified low port readiness as a major hurdle bottlenecking the adoption of onboard carbon capture.

EU’s View On Decarbonizing Maritime Transport

  • Decarbonizing maritime and inland waterways transport is another significant challenge as the shipping industry currently relies almost exclusively on fossil fuels.
  • The main challenge is the cost and the high energy density required to cover long maritime distances.
  • Alternative fuels appear to be the most promising avenues for decarbonizing long distance maritime transport.

Transport represents 27% of the EU’s GHG emissions. It is also the only major sector which saw its emission grow in the...

Joint Proposal For Ammonia-Fueled Ship Development

Japanese companies NYK and Hitachi Zosen Corporation have collaboratively proposed the development of an N2O reactor for an ammonia-powered vessel. This project aims to address the issue of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions associated with ammonia fuel usage, says an article published on offshore energy website.
