Ammonia-Ready
A vessel designed to be converted in the future to run safely on ammonia fuel, a zero-carbon alternative.
Biofuels
Renewable fuels produced from biological sources such as plant oils or waste. Biofuels can be blended with conventional marine fuels to reduce carbon emissions.
Carbon Capture
Technology that captures and stores carbon dioxide (CO₂) from ship exhaust gases before it is released into the atmosphere.
Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII)
An IMO regulation that measures and rates the annual efficiency of ships based on CO₂ emissions per transport work.
Digital Twin
A virtual model of a vessel that simulates real-world performance, enabling predictive maintenance and fuel optimization.
EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index)
A technical measure from the IMO requiring ships to meet minimum energy efficiency standards based on design and modifications.
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)
A framework for measuring a company’s sustainability practices across environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance transparency.
Green Corridor
A maritime trade route where stakeholders collaborate to enable zero-emission shipping through alternative fuels and clean infrastructure.
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)
A transitional marine fuel that emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to heavy fuel oil.
Methanol
An alternative marine fuel with lower emissions, increasingly used in dual-fuel engine technology.
Shore Power (Cold Ironing)
A system that allows vessels to connect to the local electricity grid while docked, eliminating emissions from onboard engines in port.
Synthetic Fuels (E-Fuels)
Fuels created using renewable energy and captured carbon, offering near-complete carbon neutrality.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
A set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations to address climate change, poverty, inequality, and environmental protection by 2030.
