Last month we spoke with Passenger Vessel Association’s Foghorn Magazine about the trends we are seeing globally with operators looking to increase operational efficiency and reduce their emissions by transitioning to future fuels and propulsion systems. In the article we talk about why Incat Crowther’s approach balances operational efficiency, smart design solutions and tailored propulsion systems to deliver long-term, environmentally and commercially sustainable solutions for operators.

🌊 First trials for our second hydrogen-powered vessel! Another milestone in our journey towards hydrogen-powered shipping; yesterday, we successfully completed the first trials for Future Proof Shipping’s 'H2 Barge 2'. The coming days will be dedicated to fine-tuning. Soon you will be able to encounter this second zero emission ship on the waterways. 📆 This step forward was made possible by the collaboration with partners who are just as determined as we are to set new standards for the maritime industry, including Orca Marine Design. Their expertise in engineering was crucial in realizing this project. We appreciate the collective effort that has gone into this project and are optimistic about the role of hydrogen in shaping a greener future for shipping. 💚 ⚓ #Futureproofshipping #H2barge2 #H2 #hydrogen #hydrogenpower #shipbuilding #conversion #greenvessel #greenshipping #sustainablemaritime

May I kindly object to your statement on wind assisted ships, where we raised CAPEX and OPEX to reduce one environmental factor and consumption. In order to reduce substiantially and sufficiently we must change steel to plastics and as such downsize. When shipping moved from wind sailings, wood bottoms and into ICE we kept going bigger in search efficiency and now we have unknown consequences from bio fauling, pollution from lost containers and enormous emissions from steel ships reconstructed every 25 years, all because of progress needs or expansion. Okay I believe “no criticism without a suggestion for solution” so Catbark design concept should provide shipowners with additional income from energy production during wind driven voyage, but do the industry have the courage to change just for benefits of future generations. Go Catbark!
Wind-assisted propulsion system (WAPS) technologies have gained significant attention in the shipping industry due to their potential to move towards a cleaner and more environmentally friendly future. These technologies harness the power of the wind, utilizing a free and zero-carbon energy source. When we consider these new propulsion systems, some might think of them as cutting-edge and too revolutionary to be a reality in the near future. However, contrary to popular belief, many companies are heavily investing to expedite the experimental phases. Taking into account that we may soon witness vessels with wind-assisted propulsion arriving at our ports, AT PORT Agency, has carried out comprehensive research and acquired firsthand insights into the possibility for local terminals to accommodate vessels equipped with this innovative technology. The future might be just around the corner... #future #cleanenergy #wind # WAPS AT Port Group

Leading the industry towards zero carbon shipping starts with collaboration. Why? The answer is in the data. Collaborating with NAPA and Sumitomo Heavy Industries Marine & Engineering Co. Ltd. (SHI-ME) (Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.) on a joint simulation project, we found that combining our Norsepower Rotor Sail™ with NAPA Voyage Optimization onboard SHI-ME’s ships can achieve average emissions reductions of up to 28%. “At a time of growing international regulatory and public pressure to save fuel and reduce the industry’s environmental impact, this performance data on the benefits of adopting clean technologies will give the industry the necessary confidence to invest in decarbonization solutions,” said @Jukka Kuuskoski, CSO, Norsepower. https://lnkd.in/ep5yaR6P #ShipsandShipping #Maritime #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #RotorSails

Mark Twain famously said, “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” What are your thoughts on the direction that companies are moving to reduce their carbon footprint? Should initiatives like these be seen as a step forward, or a step back in our attempt to combat carbon emissions? #carbonfootprint #carbonemissions #newtechnology

Head of Bunker Management product at StormGeo / Secondee at the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping
Constructive and ambitious discussions at Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping #Accelerate Partner Summit, on how #shipping can #decarbonize. A lot of progress on #regulations, #technology, #production and #funding over the past few years, but still early days and a lot of ground to cover to reach #netzero for shipping. On the short term operational energy efficiency measures as weather routing, performance systems and similar are key to reduce #consumption of the world's existing fleet. Long term, new fuel types are needed, and on the path to realization. StormGeo, part of Alfa Laval
