In a paper published this month in the International Journal of Maritime Engineering , Paul Stott and Dr Peter Wright of Newcastle University, UK, suggest that the $6-billion Panama Canal expansion program offers the marine industry as a whole an opportunity to reduce its environmental impact.
The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.
The US Navy successfully concluded its largest demonstration of shipboard alternative fuel use with the successful arrival of the Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS) to Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme. More than 50 percent of our fuel goes to maritime use. The SDTS is a decommissioned Spruance-class destroyer ex-Paul F.
A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) estimates heavy fuel oil (HFO) use, HFO carriage, the use and carriage of other fuels, black carbon (BC) emissions, and emissions of other air and climate pollutants for the year 2015, with projections to 2020 and 2025. the ICCT team concluded.
The California Air Resources Board has fined 12 shipping companies a combined $476,750 for failure to switch from high-sulfur diesel “bunker” fuel to cleaner, low-sulfur marine distillate fuel upon entering Regulated California Waters, as required by state law. Panama) - $30,250 Vessel name: Dumun. Firon Shipping Inc.
It will be the largest ship in its class that can pass through the expanded Panama Canal which is scheduled for completion in 2014, while maintaining a hull size allowing it to call at major LNG terminals around the world. This will increase fuel efficiency. This will also reduce fuel consumption. Earlier post.).
This is a key milestone toward commercial scale production, with initial results showing comparable system performance in the scale-up from our 4 barrel/day pilot system in Panama City, Florida to the 100 BBL/day demonstration system in St. The final products are all fungible and nearly identical to petroleum-derived fuels.
The only possible way to achieve the so-much-needed decarbonization in our industry is by fully transforming to new carbon neutral fuels and supply chains. In comparison, a container vessel carrying thousands of TEU sailing from Panama to Rotterdam makes around 8,800 km. —Søren Toft, Chief Operating Officer at A.P.
Further, a hybrid propulsion system has boosted fuel efficiency by more than 20% compared to the Sayaendo (and more than 40% vis-à-vis earlier carriers). The new structural configuration succeeds in efficiently increasing LNG carrying capacity. New Panamax maximum dimensions are 366m in LOA, 49m in width and 15.2m
a provider of hydrogen fuel cell systems and fueling solutions enabling e-mobility, announced a new agreement with Spanish hydrogen production and distributor Compañía Logística de Hidrocarburos (CLH). The CLH Group is a leading international company in the transport and storage fuel products in Europe. Plug Power Inc.,
“Post-Panamax” class refers to the ships that are unable to travel through the Panama Canal and “new post-Panamax” refers to the size limit of ships that will be able to travel through the Panama Canal after its planned expansion is completed in 2014: 366m in length overall (LOA), 49m in width and 15.2m
Germanischer Lloyd (GL) has presented an Approval in Principle (AiP) certificate to TECHNOLOG for the LNG-fueled IPP-designed STREAM range of 3,000 TEU to 5000 TEU liner or feeder vessels designed for worldwide service. A single screw is directly driven by a dual-fuel, two-stroke, 22.9 Rendering of a 4,200 TEU STREAM container vessel.
The new configuration enables greater structural efficiency and size and weight reductions, resulting not only in improvements in fuel consumption and operating economy but also in enhancements in terms of compatibility with LNG terminals and maintainability. Improved aerodynamics contributes to reduced fuel consumption during navigation.
fuel for Arctic vessels assuming a low-growth scenario. The low-diversion scenario assumes 2% diversion from the Panama and Suez canals between July and November of 2025. Annex VI defines two sets of emission and fuel quality requirements: global requirements; and. Source: ICCT. Click to enlarge. Regulatory background.
Nearly 40 teams initially submitted ideas for the $50,000 Apps for Vehicles Challenge that seeks to improve safety and fuel efficiency through data innovation. In addition, VELOcar sources auxiliary data to calculate fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions and peer benchmarking. Earlier post.).
Overall, the study found that maritime fuel consumption increased from 291 to 298 million tonnes (+2.4%) from 2013 to 2015, compared to a 7% increase in shipping transport work. Ships registered to Panama (15%), China (11%), Liberia (9%), Marshall Islands (7%), Singapore (6%), and Malta (5%) were the largest emitters. Source: The ICCT.
Heavy-duty trucks consume about 20% of America’s total transportation fuel. Improving the fuel efficiency of these vehicles can go a long way to reducing dependency on oil and lowering carbon emissions. The application focus for SuperTruck II is Class 8 long‐haul trucks using conventional fuels (diesel or gasoline). Supertruck.
The design is future compliant with new IGC code, Panama requirements as well as significant advances in a range of features, including the speed-range flexibility, hull form and boil-off rate. The primary fuel—i.e. —Martin Davies, the Project Manager at DNV GL.
While the Volt holds promise, it is currently projected to be much more expensive than its gasoline-fueled peers and will likely need substantial reductions in manufacturing cost in order to become commercially viable,” the task force noted in its recent assessment of GM’s restructuring plans. — Goodbye 2. — Dan 3. — Nick 6.
Marine shipping fuels will get cleaner in 2020 when a regulation by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires a decrease in the allowable amount of sulfur in fuel oil from 3.5% pollution impacts in 2020 with and without the use of low-sulphur fuels. concentrations in 2020 due to low-sulfur fuel standards.
These emissions would be emitted directly through fuel use in construction vehicles and equipment, as well as, land clearing activities including open burning, and indirectly from electricity usage. During operations, approximately 1.44
