The latest report from the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping provides a perspective on the technical, economic and environmental consequences of converting containerships from fossil-based fuels to green alternatives, like methanol or ammonia to reduce emissions, while considering the various technical and regulatory requirements.
The report also provides a comparative assessment of the emissions from the operational part of the vessel lifecycle before and after the conversion and suggests preparation levels for conversion-ready newbuilds that facilitate their transition and reduce future costs.
