Ammonia as a marine fuel
Ammonia has attracted wide interest as a source of zero emission fuel for shipping. Ammonia has the key benefit of being easier to store than hydrogen, i.e. nearly identical to propane (LPG) at low pressure under ambient conditions. Hence, the cost of storage per energy unit is significantly cheaper than either hydrogen, electricity in batteries or LNG.
The wind propulsion technology
A key strategy to lessen the industry's carbon footprint and aid in the fight against climate change is wind propulsion. Numerous technological developments present excellent opportunities. These approaches, including ours, enable the creation of effective and affordable wind propulsion systems that can be applied to a wide range of ships.

Innovative battery at heart of zero-emissions OSV gets green light
An innovative non-flammable maritime battery technology that promises long life and will be incorporated in a new zero-emissions offshore support vessel has received New Technology Qualification (NTQ) from ABS
Flashback in maritime history: Explosion, sinking and fatalities on chemical tanker Bow Mariner 28 Feb 2004
On 28 February 2004, the chemical tanker Bow Mariner caught fire and exploded while the crew was engaged in cleaning residual methyl tert Butyl ether (MTBE) from cargo tank number eight starboard. The "Bow Mariner" was a 570-foot, Singapore-flagged chemical tanker built in 1982, and was managed by a Greek company, Ceres Hellenic Shipping Enterprises Ltd. The tanker was owned by Odfjell USA, headquartered in Houston.
Propulsion Decisions or Smoke on The Water?
why not continue chipping away at emissions sustainability within the same process to ensure commercial sustainability: smart regulations building on our current reporting requirements and standards?
Auramarine obtains methanol fuel supply order
Finnish maritime fuel supplier Auramarine has obtained an order for the supply of methanol fuel supply systems for three hybrid tankers for Terntank, following the aims of addressing the demand for methanol as a viable future fuel.
Wärtsilä to Roll Out Four More Methanol Engines
Technology group Wärtsilä said it plans to introduce another four methanol engines to its portfolio. In addition to the Wärtsilä 32 methanol engine launched last year, Wärtsilä will add the Wärtsilä 20, Wärtsilä 31, Wärtsilä 46F and Wärtsilä 46TS, available for deliveries at different points from 2025 onward.
