Maritime policy bulletin 007 covers CO2 emission reduction technologies for shipping. In recent years maritime shipping has emitted approx. one gigatonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) per annum. Based on current trends this is projected to increase 150-250% by 2050

"Abstract The maritime shipping sector is a significant contributor to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, accounting for approximately 2.7%-3% of global emissions. In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set ambitious targets:

"Abstract Ammonia, a promising carbon-free fuel, offers practical advantages over hydrogen, such as liquid-phase storage, making it suitable for direct use in compression ignition engines. As a hydrogen carrier, ammonia has the potential to deca

"Abstract Microalgae oil (MAO), a third-generation biofuel, can support global transportation fuel demand as a fossil fuel substitute. Schizochytrium sp. MAO is particularly promising for direct use in compression ignition (CI) engines, especially in

Maritime policy bulletin 006 covers the economic and emissions advantages of regional ports. Ports and shipping are subject to increasing pressure to decarbonise. This provides opportunities to reconsider shipping routes and to enhance port competitiveness. T

"Abstract Maritime transportation contributes around 3 % of global emissions. As global trade and manufacturing expand, the decarbonization of maritime operations becomes an urgent challenge. Ferry ports in the UK face significant barriers to energy tra

"Abstract High-pressure composite tanks are widely used for gaseous hydrogen storage. A safety concern and knowledge gap is the potential overheating of components, including TPRD, during fast fuelling. This study presents a numerical investigation of t

Maritime policy bulletin 005 covers Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion for Decarbonisation. A key focus of maritime decarbonisation is on alternative fuels but availability, costs,logistical and safety concerns remain a barrier to adoption. Wind propulsion, a hist

"Abstract The advent of modern wind propulsion systems (WPS) to answer contemporary and forthcoming regulatory requirements to reduce shipping emissions has prompted the development of multiple technologies, ranging from sails to rotating cylinders, to
