X-Press Feeders sets course for sustainable shipping

X-Press Feeders, the world’s largest independent common carrier, along with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore and PSA Singapore achieved a historic milestone towards sustainable shipping with the arrival in Singapore and successful refuelling of X-Press Feeders’ first dual-fuel vessel. This vessel, the first to dock and refuel with green methanol in the Port

Hydrogen train travels nearly 3,000km without refuelling

A train powered by a hydrogen fuel cell travelled nearly 3,000km without refuelling, landing it a place in the Guinness World Records database, the manufacturer of the train revealed. The Flirt H2 model, made by Swiss trainmaker Stadler, travelled 1,741 miles (2,803km) on a test track in Colorado, over the course of 46 hours on

Maersk’s methanol ship makes maiden refuelling

The port of Rotterdam has for the first time refuelled a methanol-powered container ship as the shipping industry turns to the technology to cut its emissions, methanol producer OCI Global said. The Maersk-owned (MAERSKb.CO) ship began its 21,500 km (13,359 mile) journey to Copenhagen from South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard on July 10. It also

Marine fuel sales at Singapore take a dip amid high refuelling prices

Sales of marine fuel in Singapore plunged in June in the wake of soaring oil prices that reduced the number of ships calling at the port to refuel. Vessels calling specifically for refuelling in Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub, fell to 2,940 – 7.2 per cent lower than in May and down from 3,242

Volvo launches hydrogen fuel cell truck

Volvo Trucks has launched a hydrogen fuel cell truck, which will have a range of up to 1,000 kilometres and a refuelling time of less than 15 minutes.

Researchers at NCSU developed technique for less expensive hydrogen

North Carolina State University researchers have worked on a new technique for withdrawing hydrogen gas from liquid carriers. It is a quicker, and less costly and more energy efficient than previous approaches. Hydrogen fuel does not result in CO2 emissions. And hydrogen refuelling stations could be located at existing gas stations, taking advantage of existing
