Advancing Data Sharing Practices: BIMCO’s Energy Efficiency Data Sharing Clause 2025
The adoption of the BIMCO Energy Efficiency Data Sharing Clause for Time Charter Parties 2025 marks an important addition to BIMCO portfolio of clauses promoting energy efficiency and sustainability. This clause constructs a balanced framework that encourages collaboration between owners and charterers to enhance data sharing practices. This is achieved through the utilisation of existing onboard sensors and, where necessary, the installation of additional sensors on vessels.

MOL starts use of bio-LNG fuel for car carrier Celeste Ace key milestone toward achieving net zero emissions by 2050
The bio-LNG fuel supplied by Titan will have a carbon intensity (carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy consumed) of less than zero on a life cycle basis from fuel production to consumption
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).
