Maritime decarbonization: A aritical component of the global climate action agenda
The shipping industry significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, making maritime decarbonisation vital for climate action.
Odfjell completing first near carbon-neutral transatlantic voyage using sails and biofuel, saving five tons of fuel every day and improving GHG intensity by 85%
Odfjell’s chemical tanker Bow Olympus is currently crossing the Atlantic powered by a combination of wind-assisted propulsion and a certified sustainable 100% biofuel.
Alternative fuels and energy efficiency: two sides of the same coin
DNV Americas regional manager, Craig Koehne, discusses the measures that will yield substantial fuel and emissions savings during the transition to expensive carbon-neutral fuels.
IMO 2028: How much will ‘surplus units’ cost?
The generation of tradeable ‘surplus units’ for overcompliance with bunker carbon intensity targets is one of the many complicating factors in the new IMO 2028 deal.
Training for Alternative Fuels
Commissioned by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the World Maritime University (WMU), in collaboration with the Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre (MTCC) Asia headquarters, based at Shanghai Maritime University (SMU), successfully concluded the world’s first, full-scale Train-the-Trainer programme on Alternative Fuels for Sustainable Shipping from 14 to 18 April in Shanghai, China.
The human element in autonomous shipping: a study on skills and competency requirements
This study examines the evolving landscape of the shipping industry in the context of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), with a focus on the critical role of Maritime Education and Training (MET).

DNV: Methanol and LNG go ‘head-to-head’ in April alternative-fueled vessel orders
Methanol and LNG saw similar numbers of new vessel orders in April, with 24 and 20 respectively out of 49; two new orders for hydrogen-fuelled vessels in the cruise segment were placed.
Case for engine retrofits clouded by lack of green fuels
Failure to scale up suitable quantities of well-priced green fuels has blunted a projected rush to retrofit ships with cleaner engines, a delay that will potentially bring a bottleneck at repair yards further down the line, according to a new study from Lloyd’s Register (LR).
