Hello Queseanians,
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set targets for reducing GHG emissions from ships, which require proactive action from the industry. As the shipping industry starts to respond to the expected GHG strategy measures, the following data is provided by IACS members to an MSC 107 paper proposal and shows the trends in the novel fuel/technologies per ship type.
A. The following newbuilding orders already placed/expression of interests.
| Technology/fuel | Total number of ship (SOLAS ships only) | Ship type(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Methanol | 72 | Chemical Tanker, Bulk Carrier, Gas Carrier, Containership, Passenger Ship, Oil Tanker, General Cargo Ship, Dredge |
| Ammonia | 68 | Bulk Carrier, Tug, Gas Carrier, Containership, Tanker (crude, product and gas) |
| Methanol and Ammonia Ready | 32 | Containership, LPG Carrier, Pure car Truck Carrie |
| Hydrogen | 11 | Tug, Bulk Carrier, Oil Tanker, Liquefied Hydrogen Carrier, Cruise Ship, Miscellaneous |
| Fuel Cell | 9 | Car Carrier, Dredger, Passenger Ship, Cruise ship |
| Batteries | 111 | Oil Tanker, Ro-Ro Passenger Ship, General Cargo ship, Dry bulker, Others |
| Wind | 14 | Bulk Carrier, General Cargo Ship, Ro-Ro Cargo ship |
| Biofuel Capable | 5 | Miscellaneous, Oil Tanker |
| TOTAL | 322 |
