Deltamarin awarded design contract for new Airbus ships

10 January 2024

Turku, Finland, headquartered Deltamarin has been selected to design the three wind assisted RO/RO vessels that France’s Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) will operate under a charter from Airbus. The aircraft manufacturer is looking to cut the carbon emissions of its fleet of vessels used to transport aircraft subassemblies between Saint-Nazaire, France, and its single-aisle aircraft final assembly line in Mobile, Ala., and the new Airbus ships promise big carbon savings.

No Evident Technology To Reach Carbon-neutral Targets in the Next 3 Years

7 June 2021

No carbon-neutral technology in the next 3-5 years.
Hydrogen-based fuels are tout to be a promising alternative for shipping at the moment.
Hapag Lloyd CEO says there should be a greater focus on the 2030 targets.

At this point in time, there is no technology in sight that would make large, ocean-going ships carbon-neutral in the next three to five years, reports Offshore Enerhy quoting the CEO of German liner company Hapag-Lloyd, Rolf Habben Jansen.

Advantage of dual-fuel engines
