U.S.-based shipping company Crowley named its four new LNG-powered containerships that are presently under construction for its Central America service. The company provided the first details of the ships which will both increase capacity and provide more sustainable operations. 

The order for the vessels was announced in September 2022 in a deal that involves a long-term charter from Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping. The four vessels were ordered from South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard slated for delivery in 2025. They will place Crowley among the elite group of carriers operating LNG-fueled ships. Eastern Pacific has been expanding the use of LNG. They previously ordered LNG-fueled containerships for both CMA CGM and

RFA Busca Intervenir En El Desafío Legal A La Regulación De Combustible Marítimo De La UE

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

29 DE MARZO DE 2024

POR ASOCIACIÓN DE COMBUSTIBLES RENOVABLES

El 28 de marzo, la Asociación de Combustibles Renovables presentó una petición para intervenir en apoyo de una impugnación legal presentada por productores europeos de etanol contra el Reglamento Marítimo FuelEU de la Unión Europea. Al asumir arbitrariamente que los biocombustibles basados en cultivos, como el etanol, tienen las mismas emisiones de carbono durante su ciclo de vida que los combustibles marinos fósiles más sucios, la regulación de la UE prohíbe efectivamente el uso de combustibles marinos renovables basados en cultivos como herramienta para descarbonizar el sector marítimo.

La solicitud de RFA para intervenir en el procedimiento respalda la  impugnación  presentada por ePURE, una asociación comercial que representa a los productores europeos de etanol,

During the test, one of the four cylinders in a MAN B&W two-stroke LNG-fired gas injection engine was converted to a hydrogen operation. The other
