Green shipping corridors to come out of COP26

World leaders signed on to create six green shipping corridors by 2025 to decarbonize the sector.

World leaders from 22 countries, including the U.S., signed on to the Clydebank Declaration during the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday.

The signatories aim to establish at least six green corridors by the middle of the decade, according to a release

Green corridors would connect two or more major port hubs where zero-emissions solutions and fuels have been demonstrated and supported. The ports and routes will be chosen based on the potential to scale and accelerate...

IMO Discusses Carbon Intensity Of Potential Shipping Fuels

IMO has facilitated virtual informal discussion sessions (14-15 April) on lifecycle GHG/carbon intensity for potential future fuels for shipping, reports IMO.

Reducing carbon intensity

Shipping will need new fuels to achieve the levels of ambition of the IMO’s Initial GHG Strategy. This includes a reduction in the carbon intensity of international shipping by at least 40% by 2030 and a significant further reduction in carbon intensity to achieve the 2050 level of ambition – cutting GHG emissions...

Ship fuel prices jump, spread widens. Is ‘scrubber’ revival nigh?

ship fuel

One year ago — which seems like an eternity ago — no one in ocean shipping was talking about COVID. They were talking, ad nauseum, about fuel. About a massive spike in fuel prices due to a regulatory “tsunami” that would hammer liner companies’ 2020 financial results, inflate the cost of imported goods and steer winners and losers among shipping stocks.

How To Test the Stability & Compatibility of Fuels With VLSFOs

Viswa Lab in its latest technical report has put forward a detailed analysis of the 2020 compliant fuel issues. The white paper highlights critical areas of concern with new VLSFO stability and compatibility. Here”s the detailed report for our readers.

Summary 

Since the beginning of 2020, a large number of Bunker fuels meeting the 2020 Global 0.50% sulfur requirements (VLSFO’s) are getting analyzed by multiple testing labs and other agencies. The chemical nature of VLSFOs has been very complex...
