iii) Project description

Energy transition in shipping - facts and timeline

This project has been initiated by the Maritime Oslofjord Alliance. The objective of the study has been to investigate how the existing fleet of ships (see below) can contribute to lower global GHG emissions. As part of this activity, the available options and the technical and financial implications of converting existing ships in deep sea trade to use low or zero-emission fuels in the future have been studied.

The following scope was made for the project:

• The ship segments considered are existing dry bulk, tanker, and container vessels above 25,000 GRT

• The time window considered is the next 3-5 years (2025-2027)

• A well-to-wake perspective is applied in emission considerations
