ProjectGHG: Useful resources

Project GHG: Supporting the industry to meet ambitions on Greenhouse Gas emissions.

Shifting ambitions on Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) will impact how our Members work in several ways. Not just within the context of their day-to-day operations, but in how they are planning for the future with significant investments in people and vessels required if we are to meet new ambitions in this area.

IMCA has collated the resources below to support technical leads and business decision makers in an uncertain marketplace.

Technology

  • Fugro – Vessel conversion to green methanol fuel – The Fugro Pioneer is ready to be equipped with methanol engines after successfully converting the main components on board. Using green methanol reduces carbon emissions by more than 90% compared to conventional diesel.
  • Rem – Rem Offshore orders next generation vessel – Rem Offshore and Myklebust Verft have signed a contract for an Energy Subsea Construction Vessel (ESCV) with a 250-tonne crane. It will be the first of its kind that can perform heavy construction work in both offshore wind and subsea with net zero emissions.
  • RINA – CTV electrification project with Zevi Funding – UK-based crew transfer vessel (CTV) operator Tidal Transit has commenced the design and engineering phase of a project to deliver what is described as the world’s first retrofitted electric crew transfer vessel (E-CTV).

Operations

  • Maersk – 10 principles to decarbonise the OSV industry – A research paper by Maersk which offers operators and charterers practical ways to decarbonise. Although the paper takes as its point of departure offshore vessels, many of the principles outlined are applicable to the wider marine contracting industry.
  • World Ports Sustainability Program – Set up by the International Association of Ports and Harbors, the programme enhances and coordinates the sustainability efforts of ports worldwide and fosters international cooperation with partners across the supply chain.
