In Norway, DNV notes stricter emission regulations and industry innovation are driving a surge in wind-assisted propulsion system orders, according to a new DNV whitepaper released on February 4. The report provides shipowners with an analysis of WAPS technology, its fuel-saving potential, and considerations for onboard integration. It also includes case studies in European waters […]
In Norway, Boeing said it has become a key project development partner of Norsk e-Fuel, supporting one of Europe’s first industrial scale Power-to-Liquids (PtL) facilities. Boeing noted that this investment will accelerate the production and availability of sustainable aviation fuel in the Nordics and globally. Norsk e-Fuel will produce jet fuel known as electro-SAF, or […]
In Norway, United European Car Carriers announced that it will not impose surcharges on customers, thanks to its early adoption of low-carbon biofuels and liquefied biomethane, avoiding penalties under the new FuelEU Maritime (FEUM) regulations. “UECC will change absolutely nothing about its pricing structure in relation to FEUM,” said Daniel Gent, UECC’s Energy & Sustainability […]
In Norway, Boeing has become a key project development partner of Norsk e-Fuel, supporting one of Europe’s first industrial scale Power-to-Liquids (PtL) facilities. Boeing’s investment will accelerate the production and availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Nordics and globally. It is also intended to support the commercial aviation industry’s and ICAO member states’ […]
In Norway, according to DNV’s latest white paper “Biofuels in Shipping”, key biofuels like FAME and HVO have great potential for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and supporting compliance with maritime regulations, but their benefits to the industry could be constrained by limited supply in the future. With biofuel use expected to increase, the paper […]
In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported Norway’s NuProShip project concluded its first phase on December 31, 2024, advancing research into zero-emission nuclear propulsion technologies for deep-sea shipping by evaluating three reactor concepts from the United States and Sweden. Led by shipbuilder VARD, the project also includes DNV, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in […]
In Norway, Sintef reported that a EU-funded project will promote CO2 capture and improve economic sustainability by converting waste CO2 to value added products. Converting industrial CO2 waste streams into feedstock in an economical and energy-efficient manner is essential for sectors to meet EU climate targets and boost their competitiveness, Sintef said. Many production processes […]
In the UK, Lloyd’s Register reports for Norway and Iceland, the implementation of the FuelEU Maritime regulation has been delayed. These two European Economic Area members, which are not part of the European Union, will not incorporate the regulation into their agreements by January 1, according to Lloyd’s Register’s latest update. For now, Norway and […]
In Norway, DNV has launched a competence standard for methanol and a recommended practice for ammonia on December 18, 2024, to address safety risks as 27 ammonia and 322 methanol-fueled vessels prepare to join the global fleet. These guidelines aim to equip crews and shipowners with the knowledge and skills to safely manage alternative fuels, […]
In Massachusetts, The American Journal of Transportation reports Höegh Autoliners has committed to ammonia-fueled propulsion for four vessels in its Aurora-class fleet, slated for delivery in 2027, as CEO Andreas Enger explained in an interview ahead of Nor-Shipping 2025. With a combined lifespan of 30 years and flexible dual-fuel systems, the ships mark a decisive step […]
