GCMD and NYK agree to collaborate on low-carbon shipping

NYK will join the GCMD as a strategic partner, after previously conducting trials on biofuels and starting projects on ammonia bunkering.

GCMD awards LCO2 study onboard ships to LR

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has awarded its concept study on offloading liquefied CO2 (LCO2) captured onboard ships to Lloyd’s Register, supported by their partner Arup. The Singapore-based GCMD concept study will address safety and operational considerations surrounding offloading of LCO2 that has been captured onboard tankers, bulkers and container liners, including articulating

OGCI, Stena, & GCMD received ABS approval for carbon capture on oil tanker

A consortium of global shipping organisations and the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) have received approval in principle from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), the US ship certification agency, to use a carbon capture system onboard an oil tanker. The project’s seven-member consortium includes the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) in Singapore,

MSC agrees to partner with GCMD for maritime decarbonisation

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) announce their signing of a five-year Impact Partnership agreement. MSC becomes the fifth impact partner of Singapore-based GCMD and will provide a cash contribution towards the centre’s pooled resources for pilots and trials. MSC will also provide in kind contributions to projects

ONE carries out fourth biofuel trial

Ocean Network Express (ONE) has carried out its fourth biofuel trial onboard MOL ENDOWMENT. The trial was conducted as part of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation’s (GCMD) pilot project to establish a quality, quantity and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) abatement assurance framework for drop-in biofuels. The M/V MOL ENDOWMENT was refuelled with 992 metric

GCMD completes trialling two supply chains of biofuel

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) announced it has completed trialling two supply chains of biofuel blends sourced from different origins. These trials were done between 31 October 2022 and 15 February 2023 across five vessels, with approximately 4,700t of sustainable biofuel blends bunkered. The biofuels were traced from where they were produced outside

GCMD partners with Olympic Shipping for decarbonisation

Onassis Foundation-controlled Olympic Shipping and Management (OSM) has become the first Greek ship owner and manager to partner with the Singapore-based Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), committing to a five-year collaboration to accelerate shipping’s decarbonisation. As an impact partner, OSM with a fleet of 18 crude oil tankers, will provide a cash contribution towards

GCMD to evaluate safety requirements for offloading CO2

Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) issued an invitation for proposals to evaluate the safety, technical and operational requirements for offloading CO2 captured on ships. GCMD is part of a seven-member consortium that aims to study how best to offload liquefied CO2 from capture systems on board vessels, based on the proposals submitted. GCMD expects

Stena Bulk joins GCMD, and OGCI for shipboard carbon capture

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and Stena Bulk today initiated the first stage of a two-year, three-phase project to demonstrate shipboard carbon capture at scale. Together with Alfa Laval, the American Bureau of Shipping, Deltamarin and TNO, the consortium will investigate onboard capture and storage, as

NYK and Astomos Energy participate in marine biofuel data collection

NYK and Astomos Energy Corporation have participated in a marine biofuel demonstration project launched by the Global Center for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), a non-profit organization aiming to promote decarbonization of the maritime industry. Biofuels can be used without remodeling the existing ship’s engines and infrastructure. Furthermore, although biofuels generate CO2 when combusted, they are considered
