UMAS and Arup research highlights UK potential to kick-start shipping’s transition to zero emission fuel
The opportunities for the UK to become an early mover in the deployment of zero emission fuel have been highlighted in a new report published by UMAS, an independent maritime and energy decarbonisation consultancy, and Arup, a global sustainable development consultancy. UMAS and Arup have joined forces to explore actionable ways in which the UK…
Ahti Climate: New research reveals huge FuelEU Maritime benefits available from pooling
Companies that fail to optimise their vessel operations in response to FuelEU Maritime will find their overheads quickly become a competitive handcuff.” Using tools it has developed to manage Ahti Pool, the world’s first FuelEU Maritime compliance pool, Ahti has calculated that the use of one e-methanol vessel on voyages within the European Union’s waters…
ABS and DOE Sign MOU to Collaborate on Clean Energy Development and Maritime Decarbonization Research
ABS and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are to collaborate on clean energy development in the maritime domain and decarbonization of maritime operations after signing a new memorandum of understanding (MOU).

Can a single maritime AI research project cut 1% of total global emissions? NAVTOR thinks so
Pick your jaw up off the floor, as NAVTOR’s Bjørn Åge Hjøllo explains how the Green AI for Sustainable Shipping (GASS) initiative promises to transform the ability of shipowners and operators to slash fuel consumption, emissions and OPEX, ushering in a smarter, greener, more connected maritime future. Sorry, what did you say? Bjørn Åge Hjøllo,…
Bureau Veritas and Ponant advance polar safety research
The SAREX took place in September 2023 near Hershel Island, off the coast of Yukon, Canada. BV oversaw proceedings as US and Canadian search and rescue teams conducted the exercise aboard PONANT’s polar exploration cruise ship Le Commandant Charcot. The exercise followed a similar SAREX carried out in 2021, reputed to be the world’s first international…
Indian Expat awarded with Prestigious Academic Doctorate for groundbreaking research on energy factors to reduce carbon emission from ships
In a momentous ceremony at the 21st convocation function of the University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, Mr. Ajith PJ, an Indian expat, working in the UAE over two decades now, was honored with an academic doctorate for his pioneering research on “Measuring Energy Efficiency of Offshore Support Vessels in the UAE for developing…
Small, autonomous, zero-emission inland vessels – new research project AUTOFLEX supports transport transition
To achieve climate neutrality for all EU countries by 2050 and, thereby, realizing the ambitious European Green Deal, gains in energy efficiency in all sectors are just as important as the increased use of renewable energies. In transportation, this means elevating the share of vehicles with drive systems powered by electricity and sustainable alternative fuels…
New Research Reveals Financiers’ Beliefs And Behaviours On Shipping’s Transition To A Low Carbon Future
A new research paper published in Journal of Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions by researchers from the UCL Energy Institute explores the role ship financiers can play in shipping’s transition to zero emission fuels. Using a novel theoretical framework which categorises financiers into five enabling or disabling categories, it finds that most expressed an ambition…
