TradeWinds technology editor Craig Eason speaks to MAN Energy Solutions head of two-stroke business Bjarne Foldager about meeting increased demand for dual-fuel engines, getting licensees to ramp up production, the growing interest in ammonia as a fuel and how long an engine conversion takes.
In his first year on the job, International Maritime Organization secretary general Arsenio Dominguez has confronted two major sustainability challenges facing shipping: decarbonisation and the violence in the Red Sea, which threatens an oil spill and endangers mariners. He spoke to TradeWinds editor-in-chief Julian Bray at the Shipowners’ Forum Germany.
Trading giant Trafigura is looking to biofuels and ammonia as ways to tackle its greenhouse gas footprint, and head of wet freight Andrea Olivi says FuelEU Maritime is a major reason. We talk to him about how the new European Union law is set to boost green fuel uptake.
After snapping up e1 Marine from joint venture partners Ardmore Shipping and Element 1, New Orleans-based Maritime Partners is positioned to take hydrogen generators to wider applications.

TradeWinds technology editor Craig Eason talks to Sebjorn Dahl, chief operating officer at Hoegh Autoliners, during the naming ceremony of Hoegh Aurora. They discussed the decision to go for ammonia with 12 newbuildings and how they are training the crews to use both LNG and ammonia fuel.
LNG has returned as the main alternative fuel for new ships, and that means to be truly green, these vessels will need to turn to renewable forms of the fuel. With e-LNG produced from green hydrogen still far more expensive, bio-LNG is the key option on the menu. We speak to SEA-LNG chief operating officer Steve Esau, and we hear from Alexandra Veroude, an analyst at environmental commodities trader STX Group, who spoke on a NorthStandard webinar.

This sponsor episode is part of TradeWinds Content Studio’s Ocean Climate Impact Series. Data has always played a key role in the shipping industry, but Miros Mocean believes that clients should not be satisfied by the current status quo of unreliable data. That quality, commercial data can help drive decarbonisation and reduce operational costs, are but a few reasons the sector should embrace accuracy. Miros Mocean’s Christian Bonfils joined the podcast to discuss green financing, decarbonisation and the need for accurate data to pave a new future for the shipping industry.
When European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen stood before EU lawmakers and successfully made the case for a second term, she struck a different tone on the Green Deal, her signature climate initiative that included regulations on shipping. The shift means the effort is still alive but moves into an investment and implementation phase.
We talk to Sotiris Raptis of the European Community Shipowners Associations and Sian Prior of Seas at Risk.

TradeWinds technology editor Craig Eason explains
Data from shipbroking giant Clarksons shows that orders for vessels powered by alternative fuels have shifted to see LNG dominate methanol, as price and availability impact decision-making. We hear from C2X chief financial officer Alastair Maxwell, who spoke in an Evercore fireside chat, and Princess Cruises’ Bob Alton, who spoke on a webinar by the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping and Port of Seattle.

And now officials in the California capital are considering doing it again — this time for greenhouse gas emissions. We talk to University of California Berkeley’s David Wooley, Pacific Environment’s Teresa Bui and Chamber of Shipping of America’s Kathy Metcalf.
