How sea shipping has many inherent advantages over other forms of logistics

The global logistics industry accounts for a massive share of carbon emissions. To put it, an perspective estimated 7% of global carbon emissions result from logistics operations and freight. Notably, the carbon footprint activities need to be lowered by at least 20% to achieve the Paris Accord goal of attaining net-zero emissions between 2050-2100. Companies

What to Expect for Alt Fuels in 2022

Emissions reduction pressure and sustainability goals will continue to mount as more fleets, consumers seek to reduce carbon footprint. As many of us do around this time of year, I’ve been reflecting on 2021 and thinking about what may happen in 2022. When it comes to alternative fuels, there’s a lot to consider. So here

New lubricants will be key to the renewable-fuel transition

Ship operators must work alongside the companies they charge with maintaining engine condition in order to ensure a smooth transition to using alternative fuels. That is the challenge laid down by Lubrizol’s Technical Manager for Marine Engine Oils, Ian Bown, as the company explores how it must adapt lubricants to protect ship engines burning alternative

Decarbonisation will bring new risks for safer shipping

Shipping’s safety record has improved significantly over the past decade, with vessel losses down by 56 per cent between 2012 and 2020, according to a major new study by Lloyd’s List Intelligence and class society DNV. This is the result of increased digitalisation, modern class rules, and tighter regulatory supervision, among other measures. This positive

What is a hydrogen internal combustion engine, and can it be a real alternative to battery EVS?

In a world faced with more uncertainty than ever, the only well-documented certainty is that fossil fuels will soon be ditched in favour of alternative energy sources for mobility applications worldwide. Most automakers have already climbed aboard the promising electric mobility vessel, and are working to transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to ones
