Canada awards 14 projects Clean Vessel Demonstration funding

Transport Canada yesterday announced that 14 green shipping projects have been awarded a total of CAD 14.7 million (nearly US$11 million) through the Clean Vessel Demonstration Stream of the agency’s Green Shipping Corridors Program. It says the funding will:

  • help spur the launch of the next generation of clean ships;
  • invest in shore power technology; and
  • prioritize low-emission and low-noise vessels at ports.

“Our Government is committed to protecting and preserving the environment from coast...

Berge Bulk puts Anemoi rotor sails on a Valemax

Berge Bulk ship fitted with Anemoi rotor sails

Singapore-headquartered Berge Bulk reports that its 388,000 dwt Valemax ore carrier Berge Neblina is now en route to Brazil fitted with four Anemoi rotor sails. Each is 35 meters tall and has a 5 meters diameter. The rotor sails are integrated with a folding deployment system that allows them to lay flat to mitigate impact on air draft and cargo handling operations when in port.

By harnessing wind energy, Berge Neblina will be able to reduce the load on the main engine while maintaining speed,...

Energy Solutions – Leveraging capital to reduce utility costs for tenants

As energy prices continue to rise and as more companies and individuals become carbon conscious, Link Logistics has developed a utility management model that will leverage its access to real estate capital to cut energy costs for its tenants. 

Sam Stockdale, senior vice president and head of sustainability at Link Logistics, sat down with Mary O’Connell for the Net-Zero Carbon podcast to explain how Energy Solutions scales decarbonization, as detailed in a new Link Logistics sustainability case...

The Role of Nuclear Energy In Shipping’s Green Transition

As the shipping industry grapples with reducing its carbon footprint, experts like NTNU professor Jan Emblemsvåg emphasize the potential of nuclear energy. Emblemsvåg argues that relying solely on hydrogen or other low-carbon fuels may not suffice, given the immense energy requirements.

Nuclear Energy vs. Conventional Fuels

Emblemsvåg highlights the impracticality of using hydrogen to power the global fleet, citing the massive power generation needed. Instead, he suggests nuclear power as a...

DNV: Onboard carbon capture is technically feasible, but …

onboard carbon capture (OCC)

While onboard carbon capture (OCC) is gaining increasing interest as way for ships to continue operating on conventional fuels while reducing emissions, there seem to be all sorts of questions around things like what to with the carbon once its capured.

A new DNV white paper says that successful commercial uptake of OCC depends on collaboration between regulators, policy makers, industry stakeholders, class, and suppliers.

The white paper, “The potential of onboard carbon capture in shipping,”,...
