Shipping looks to the past for a cleaner future

Wind power as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels is not limited to offshore and onshore turbines. Nearly 250 years after the world’s first steamship, the global shipping industry is once again seeking to harness the power of the wind, reports Selwyn Parker.

How to decarbonise shipping: why cross-sector collaboration is important

The decarbonisation of international shipping will require global and regional cooperation and work to bring together often segregated stakeholders across the energy and shipping value chains. Here, Dr Carlo Raucci, Director, Sustainable Fuels and Strategy, at the Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub, outlines ways in which the decarbonisation picture is shaping up around Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region, as well as the lessons that can be learnt from regional initiatives like the Silk Alliance.

Are ammonia-fuelled ships a viable alternative option for greener maritime operations?

Given the significant impact of maritime operations on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a range of alternative fuel options are being considered, including ammonia-fuelled ships. Toby Clark considers the pros and cons of using ammonia as fuel for shipping operations, which nevertheless carries recognised safety risks.
