UNCTAD calls for a smaller shipping carbon footprint

The UN Conference on Trade and Development has called for a smaller carbon footprint from the ocean shipping industry.

It has noted that the world’s ocean shipping fleet is ageing, which it describes as a “major concern” for the environment as older ships pollute more.

“Ships are getting older partly due to shipowners’ uncertainty about future technological developments and the most cost-efficient fuels, as well as about changing regulations and carbon prices. A new generation of low-carbon...

At SIBCON, Stolt-Head Nielsen’s of Sustainability Discusses Future Fuels

Stolt-Nielsen’s Head of Sustainability talks future fuels at SIBCON, Singapore, says a Stolt-Nielsen news report.

Discussions about future fuels

Most discussions about future fuels have largely revolved around their technical and performance credentials, but this is in fact only part of the challenge, said Bill Bryant, Stolt-Nielsen‘s Managing Director for APAC & MEA and Head of Sustainability.

Bryant was speaking at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)’s conference (SIBCON) in...

New DNV rules include “Fuel Ready”

In the latest updates to its rules for ship classification, DNV has released multiple new class notations to help the maritime meet the challenge of decarbonization challenge. The include “Fuel Ready,” a notation that gives shipowners the option to prepare for a later conversion to multiple different alternative fuel options, and “Gas fueled ammonia” for ammonia fueled vessels, to stay ahead of shipping’s ever tightening carbon reduction requirements.

DNV’s annual report on the energy transition...

What Alternative Do Future Fuels Use For Shipping?

  • The shipping industry has a vital role in a net zero carbon future.
  • In response to the Paris Climate Accord, the International Maritime Organisation has set ambitious goals of halving greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions by 2050, compared to 2008.
  • At the same time, it has to reduce carbon dioxide emissions intensity by 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050.

In the recent report of “The Sustainability Imperative” – which drew on a series of in-depth interviews and a global survey of 545 senior industry...
