World Project Group’s Post

Brittany Ferries, a well known leader for delivering sustainable ferry services, has teamed up with Wärtsilä and Incat Tasmania to design a possible all-electric ferry for their shorter routes. ""We know that battery electric propulsion coupled with lightweight aluminium vessels is the ideal choice to eliminate emissions, and we are thrilled to be continuing our relationship with both Brittany Ferries and Wärtsilä as we collectively lead the next evolution of sustainable maritime transport throughout Europe." Brittany Ferries Chief Executive Christophe Mathieu highlighted Incat as the logical choice for the project. "This is an important project as we look at different ways to reach net zero by 2050. All-electric power is a potential solution, best suited to shorter ferry routes. Brittany Ferries has a track record of walking the talk when it comes to leading the industry on sustainable ferry travel, as our investment in LNG and hybrid ships shows," Mr Mathieu said."" Along with similar committments from other players, it shows that there is not always a one-size-fits-all solution for individual players. In the case of Brittany Ferries, bio/e-methane fuel and hybrid propulsions work well for their longer missions. But it may not make sense on shorter routes, this is where all electric ferries step in. This also brings a great opportunity for ship owners/operators to extensively standardize electrical systems and propulsion batteries across their fleet of hybrid and full electric ships. It in turn reduces inventory, parts logistics and downtime costs, unlocking great fiscal savings. What are your thoughts about this? Feel free to comment below. #sustainableshipping #decarbonization

my question is how much range do these electric ferries have before they run out of juice and be dead in the water for a distance of 300 nautical miles for some islands savvy

Using Hydrogen is going to be a problem in the near future for passenger transport as well due to the fact that if hydrogen catches afire nobody no passengers or crew can escape such a disaster. A hydrogen fire onboard a ship will be the worst thing that can happen to passenger and cargo transportation in the world. a vessels still needs a lot of power to travel the high seas and if vessels go to hybrids diesel engines will still be the main mode of operation for long distances. you cant operate on electric mode for a distance of 200 nautical miles on a single charge cause the electric system will want to reboot on charging from the engine or generators onbaord the vessels. my concern is more related to safety of crew and passengers who have to sail on these vessels. and hydrogen is certainly not safe when it starts to catch a fire a whole ship or vessel. nobody survives a hydrogen fire just look at the lyndenburg air ship from Germany years ago in 1930.

Brittany Ferries, Wärtsilä, and Incat Tasmania have signed a partnership deal to explore the design and technical requirements for a 137m zero-emissions craft. The project comes as Brittany Ferries nears the completion of the biggest fleet renewal program in its history. Five new vessels will have joined the fleet between 2020 and 2025, including two LNG-powered ships (currently in service) and two shore-power-ready LNG-electric hybrids. The tripartite deal brings together heavyweight marine partners with complementary strengths. Their expertise includes the design and construction of fast craft, all aspects of engineering and technical needs, and experience in operating a large and diverse fleet. Wärtsilä is a supplier to all five new ships in Brittany Ferries ongoing fleet renewal project. This includes LNG engines that power Salamanca, which joined the fleet in 2022, and Santoña in 2023. In addition, Wärtsilä is installing LNG-hybrid drivetrains for hybrid vessels currently under construction and set to sail for Europe by the end of this year. #bunkering #bunkermarket #energy #shipping #maritime #shipowners #decarbonization #digitalization #energytransition #oilandgas #ports #marinefuels #netzero #uk #europe #france #ireland #spain #brittanyferries #ferries #incat #wartsila #netzero #zeroemissions https://lnkd.in/d5h7B8Nm

In a momentous leap towards revolutionizing maritime sustainability, MARFLET MARINE S.A., a stalwart in Spain’s private shipping sector, has forged a landmark agreement with bound4blue. This transformative partnership entails the installation of Four state-of-the-art 22m eSAILs® aboard the 49999 DWT oil and chemical tanker Santiago I. As an integral facet of Marflet’s relentless decarbonization agenda, this installation promises to usher in a new era of eco-conscious navigation. By embracing this cutting-edge technology, Santiago I is poised to achieve unprecedented reductions in traditional marine fuel consumption, thereby optimizing operational efficiency and significantly slashing GHG emissions. The contract, with installation scheduled for mid-2025, makes Marflet the first Spanish merchant fleet owner to adopt a WAP system. It marks a further landmark development for bound4blue’s fully autonomous ‘suction sail’ eSAIL® technology, which has recently been selected by other leading industry names including Eastern Pacific Shipping, Louis Dreyfus Company, and Odfjell. Working by dragging air across an aerodynamic surface to generate exceptional propulsive efficiency, the unique system is simple, robust, highly efficient, and requires zero operational input from the crew. #bunkering #bunkermarket #energy #shipping #maritime #shipowners #decarbonization #digitalization #energytransition #oilandgas #carboncapture #ports #marinefuels #greenshipping #netzero #spain #singapore #barcelona #marfletmarine #marflet #bound4blue #esail #windpropulsion #windtechnology https://lnkd.in/dzRSRFrW

Let's commit together to sustainability in offshore services! JR Shipping Group, of which SeaZip Offshore Service is part, is proud to announce the publication of their second Sustainability Report. This puts us at the forefront of the transition to a more sustainable future, ahead of the legal obligations that come into force in 2026. For us, ESG is not an obligation, but an opportunity. Opportunities in several ways; Environment: We have taken concrete steps to reduce our environmental footprint. From research into biofuel as an alternative fuel to innovative adaptation projects for our vessels, we are determined to minimize our impact on the environment. Social: We invest in our people and create an inclusive and safe working environment.

Eastern Pacific Shipping Pte. Ltd. partners with Yinson GreenTech to trial electric vessels (Hydromover) for crew transfers and cargo deliveries in Singapore, marking a significant step towards cleaner and more sustainable maritime operations. Eastern Pacific CEO Cyril Ducau said: “It is heartening to see like-minded partners in the industry adopt the ‘act now’ approach like us, taking action and exploring innovative solutions on all fronts. This #collaboration reflects the commitment to accelerate #decarbonization and explore innovative solutions for a #greenerfuture. The trial will provide valuable insights, paving the way for wider adoption of electric vessels in the maritime industry. The #Hydromover is said to generate zero emissions and can potentially reduce operational costs by up to 50% compared with conventional vessels due to improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs. From 2030, all new harbour craft operating in the Port of #Singapore will have to be fully #electric, be capable of using B100 #biofuel, or be compatible with net zero fuels such as #hydrogen #greenplanet #betterworld #innovation For more insights pls refer to the link : https://lnkd.in/eazGFUya
