Energy ports integrating electrification, shore power, hydrogen, energy storage and sustainable maritime systems

Energy ports move from concept towards strategic planning

Energy ports are emerging as a new strategic consideration for the maritime sector as electrification, shore power, automation, hydrogen production and digital infrastructure drive substantially higher electricity requirements at ports.

Ship emissions and the economics of ECA compliance

Ship emissions regulations can fundamentally alter the economics of operating and retrofitting existing vessels. This technical study compares three approaches to ECA sulphur compliance — low-sulphur marine fuel, exhaust gas scrubbers and conversion to LNG — assessing their technical feasibility, investment requirements and payback periods using an existing tanker as the reference vessel.
