"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

"Abstract Global maritime shipping is an important driver to the global economy, accounting for 12.3 billion tonnes in maritime trade volume in 2023. Mainly driven by petroleum-based fuels, the sector emitted 706 Mt of CO2 in 2022, constituting 2 % of g

"Abstract Background: Increasing regulatory pressure for maritime decarbonization (e.g., IMO CII, FuelEU) drives adoption of low-carbon fuels and prompts reassessment of regional ports’ competitiveness. This study aims to evaluate the economic and env

"Abstract This study proposes a retrofit energy system for a marine diesel oil (MDO) container vessel, integrating a methanol-fuelled internal combustion engine (ICE), molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), carbon capture system, and organic Rankine cycle (
