Scrubbing emissions in shipping with Daphne Technology
The shipping industry facilitates much of the world’s trade but also contributes significantly to global emissions. Andrew Tunnicliffe speaks with Daphne Technology’s CEO Mario Michan about how innovations in scrubber technologies could play a huge role in decarbonising shipping, and how future-proofing vessels is now becoming essential.
Debate: should shipping be regulated regionally or globally?
Several industry stakeholders at 2020’s virtual Global Maritime Forum claimed that greater regional regulation of the shipping industry would help speed up its decarbonisation process.

Should shippers be concerned about low-sulphur fuel quality?

However, some shipowners have found issues with these blends, especially when it comes to quality. Ilaria Grasso Macola investigates this problem and the wider issues of fuel blend quality since the International Maritime Organization’s sulphur cap came into place in 2020.
