Fukuoka, Japan – 24th May 2019 – Eco Marine Power (EMP) is pleased to announce its Aquarius MAS + Solar solution has been installed on the large general cargo ship MV Panamana. This installation was carried out by the ship''s crew with remote support provided by Zeaborn Ship Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and EMP from Japan. Over the
Adventure cruise company Hurtigruten Norway today revealed plans for a zero-emissions electric cruise ship with retractable sails covered in solar panels, which is due to set sail in 2030.
The cost of renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar is falling significantly over the decade and this can have a large influence on the efforts to reach sustainability. With the shipping industry contributing to a whopping 3.3% in global CO2 emissions, the International Maritime Organization has adopted short-term measures to reduce the carbon intensity of all ships by
Shipping companies are beginning to transition toward fully renewable or cleaner energy sources to drive their vessels, and gradually giving up their use of fossil fuels. Finnish shipping firm Wartsila installed a hybrid energy system with solar power onboard the Paolo Topic bulk carrier in 2021.
The Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre (MTCC) Pacific supported the trial of marine solar power systems on two ships to power electricity needs, especially when in port. This resulted in overall GHG reduction of more than 50%.
