The maritime industry faces a pivotal challenge – decarbonising the global fleet for a greener, more sustainable future. For the prepared, the costs to retrofit now can be an opportunity to realise savings tomorrow.
Shipping remains under continuous pressure to meet greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, decarbonise fleets, and operate more efficiently. Meeting these challenges means considering a raft of potential fleet and fuel options. Without improvements, many vessels will not comply with new regulations like FuelEU, while decarbonisation pathways can be uncertain and expensive. The industry faces a complex choice between retrofitting, buying new vessels, and the challenge of securing green fuel supplies.
