NYK and Hokkaido Electric Power Collaborate on Maritime Decarbonization

NYK and Hokkaido Electric Power Collaborate on Maritime Decarbonization

NYK has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hokkaido Electric Power to study onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) technologies. The collaboration aims to decarbonize maritime transport through a demonstration project in Tomakomai, Japan. The study will run until fiscal year 2028, focusing on the design and operation of OCCS equipment on the coal carrier Pirika Moshiri Maru. This initiative is part of broader efforts to reduce emissions in the maritime industry and promote sustainable shipping practices.

OpenBridge Launches Open-Source Code Library to Enhance Maritime Safety

OpenBridge Launches Open-Source Code Library to Enhance Maritime Safety

OpenBridge has launched a comprehensive open-source code library designed to standardize digital interfaces in the maritime industry. Developed at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, the system addresses the fragmentation of digital interfaces across maritime workplaces, which often leads to human error. The OpenBridge framework supports a wide range of maritime technologies, including augmented reality for navigation and advanced advice systems. The initiative aims to establish a global standard for user-centered maritime design, making it easier and cheaper for vendors to implement safety-standardized designs. The system has already seen significant global interest, with over 7,000 downloads of its design files.

SGMF Report Highlights LNG's 29% Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Marine Fuels

SGMF Report Highlights LNG's 29% Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Marine Fuels

The Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF) has released its latest Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), showcasing significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. The report indicates that using LNG can lead to up to a 29% reduction in tank-to-wake GHG emissions compared to Marine Gas Oil (MGO) 0.1%. This marks a 13% improvement from the previous assessment conducted in 2022. Additionally, the study highlights a 25% reduction in overall well-to-wake GHG emissions, supported by a 9% decrease in well-to-tank emissions since the first LNG LCA study in 2019. These assessments are crucial for understanding the current state of the industry and are regularly updated to reflect technological advancements and accurate GHG intensity values. The data for these studies is sourced from a diverse range of stakeholders, both within and outside SGMF's membership.
