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

UK project trials carbon capture at sea to help tackle climate change

The world is betting heavily on carbon capture — a term that refers to various techniques to stop carbon pollution from being released during industrial processes, or removing existing carbon from the atmosphere, to then lock it up permanently.

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.

Emission performance of ammonia-fueled, two-stroke marine engines

In the lead up to its historic 83rd meeting this April, the IMO’s MEPC (Marine Environment Protection Committee) published a “Review of current literature on tank-to-wake nitrous oxide emissions from ammonia-fueled engines“.

Onboard carbon capture: a bridge to zero-emission shipping?

As the shipping industry aims to decarbonise, onboard carbon capture emerges as a potential solution. But is it a game-changer or just an expensive experiment? We explore the pros and cons of this up-and-coming technology and its role in decarbonising maritime transport.

Ship energy savers, top to bottom

With low- and zero-carbon fuels not available at scale, shipowners can look to wind-assisted propulsion systems and silicone-based antifoulings to generate significant fuel and emissions savings

The Maritime Industry Urged to Adopt Wind Technology to Meet IMO Decarbonisation Targets; a Levy on Polluting Shipping Fuels Will Accelerate Adoption

As global leaders convene this week in London to discuss tools to deliver a decarbonisation strategy for global shipping, vulnerable countries and marine NGO Seas At Risk are pushing for the introduction of a strong carbon levy on heavily polluting vessels

IMO and onboard carbon capture, storage and sequestration

IMO is shaping global shipping’s future with regulations on onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and cleaner fuel standards to meet its 2050 climate goals

Harnessing wind power for the next generation of sustainable shipping

With annual international shipping CO₂ emissions doubling since 1990 and now accounting for roughly 10% of global transportation emissions, the maritime shipping sector sits at a crossroads in the fight against climate change.
