Summary: Low-carbon ammonia has the potential to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping, particularly for larger deep-sea vessels. The required vessel technologies for this fuel type are developing quickly. However, this does not mean t

Stronger environmental regulations are widely seen as essential for maritime decarbonisation. In this research we show that the relationship between regulation and green technology adoption is more complex and can have unintended consequences. Regulatory stringe

Ports are electrifying yard equipment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but full electrification takes years due to investment costs and grid supply capacity. During this transition, ports operate mixed fleets of diesel, hybrid, and electric yard cranes. Manag

Shipping is fundamental for the UK economy, transporting c.85% by weight of the country’s international freight trade. Using an econometric model, we show that shipping freight costs are statistically significantly associated with the level and volatility of U

"Abstract Ammonia has emerged as a promising renewable fuel for internal combustion engines; however, its adoption is hindered by inherent drawbacks such as high ignition energy, low burning velocities, narrow flammability range, and toxicity. Emulsifyi

"Abstract Methanol and its oxygenated blends are credible low-carbon fuels for direct-injection engines, yet classical correlations predict their spray behaviour poorly across practical pressures. Penetration sets the risk of wall impingement and cone a

"Abstract The maritime sector contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions, with direct implications for climate change and air quality in port-adjacent communities. This study investigates a hydrogen-powered cold‑ironing system for a major i

"Abstract This study experimentally investigates the recovery of ultra-low-grade waste heat from marine hybrid propulsion systems using a micro-scale cryogenic-enhanced ORC. The proposed system integrates battery and PEMFC cooling-water loops as heat so

"Abstract Background/Objectives: UK ports are central to maritime decarbonisation, but comparable evidence on implementation remains limited. This study examines documented practices at 16 major UK ports represented by 17 analytical cases. Methods: A do
