Damen has become the first shipyard to achieve official EU Stage V certification for its in-house developed emissions reduction system.

Damen has become the first shipyard to achieve official EU Stage V certification for its in-house developed emissions reduction system.

With many Damen vessels operating in harbours and waterways that are close to or within urban areas, the group recognised that it had an obligation to develop an emission reduction system to address the health issues present by the particulate matter emitted by diesel engines as well as the environmental impacts resulting from excess nitrogen oxides.

The Damen Emission Reduction System (ERS) is a one-system-solution that combines soot filters with a selective catalytic reduction

Nord Stream 2 is not yet operational, but the Kremlin’s tightening grip on energy supplies is already being felt across Europe. The price of gas futures continues to hit record highs and has increased by over 600% in a matter of twelve months.

What we are currently witnessing in Europe is a rerun of the oil shocks America experienced in the 1970s. The commodity is different, the safeguards are stronger, but the underlying dynamics are the same. It was not a lack of oil tankers that pushed up prices of crude and triggered an economic recession in the US almost 50 years ago, but politically motivated decisions by the dominant oil producers to withhold supplies.

As Ukraine’s gas transmission operator and a

El Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia del Gobierno de España, destina 111 millones de euros a su línea de actuación nº5, sobre Sostenibilidad del Transporte Marítimo y Aéreo. Con ello pretende apoyar el despliegue de combustibles alternativos en puertos y aeropuertos y la adopción de tecnologías propulsoras mediante energías alternativas, sobre todo, en el sector marítimo.

 

Partiendo de la base que el futuro está en las energías renovables y limpias, de manera que reduzcan completamente la emisiones de CO2 a la atmósfera en 2050, la previsión en el uso comercial del hidrógeno para la movilidad marítima, se sitúa como muy pronto en 2030.

En este momento y a nivel global, el 15% de los buques en construcción será propulsado con

The Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) has voiced its support for the Greek Prime Minister’s call for a European research centre for alternative marine fuels and technologies - and says it ‘stands ready to engage’.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made the proposal to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen earlier this week where he highlighted the importance of research and development into maritime decarbonisation.

Commenting, the President of the UGS, Theodore Veniamis, said the union supported Mitsotakis’ proposal and highlighted Greece’s ‘proven maritime know-how’ and ‘long-standing experience and scientific expertise’.

‘We are keen to work with the EU institutions and all interested parties to move Greece’s proposal forward in order to support the major effort required to deliver real environmental benefits along with

La industria del transporte marítimo mantiene a la economía global en marcha, con el 90 por ciento del comercio mundial que se realiza por mar. Esta enorme dependencia del transporte marítimo significa que la industria también puede detener el comercio mundial, como lo demuestra la reciente parada de un carguero, el Ever Given, en el Canal de Suez, que provocó un atasco de tráfico flotante de más de 400 barcos.

Con más de 90.000 barcos que componen la flota comercial del mundo, las emisiones de carbono del transporte marítimo representan aproximadamente el tres por ciento del CO2 mundial. Modernizar una de las formas de comercio más antiguas del mundo con tecnología de energía limpia de vanguardia no es una tarea
