In our March issue, we turn our attention to the decarbonisation of shipping. Firstly, we analyse the viability of fuel cells in the industry after Swiss technological giant ABB partnered with one of Europe’s largest independent research organisations, to test the us of fuel cells as an energy source for ship propulsion.
And secondly, non-profit group Transport & Environment has published a new report on the best ways for the shipping industry to decarbonise in the future.
In an out-of-this-world attempt, a new project attempts to adapt composite technologies developed for the space industry to accommodate LNG shipping.
Finally, we look at how ports conduct clean-up activities of their underwater areas and ask whether current merchant seafarer training standards fit for purpose.
