MB Shipbrokers Advisory Services and Azolla collaborate to drive shipping decarbonisation.
On its path towards decarbonisation, the shipping industry faces a wide array of overlapping uncertainties across technology, future fuels, regulations, and global standards. At the same time, there is growing pressure from various stakeholders to increase momentum. While this drives complexity, uncertainty, and costs, it also introduces significant opportunities for performance improvements and, therefore, reductions in emissions and costs.
MB Shipbrokers Advisory Services and Azolla have entered a strategic decarbonisation collaboration to assist ship owners, operators, and charterers in understanding how this impacts their day-to-day business and what can be done now and, in the future, to realize the opportunities this transition brings.
Energy efficiency retrofits can be done here and now.
Overcoming the technical, commercial, and regulatory barriers to decarbonise the shipping industry is a vast and complex challenge that will take decades. Regulations and policies need to expand and become more effective. Alternative fuel pathways need to be fully enabled at scale. Ships need to become more efficient. And so on.
Deploying readily available energy saving devices will be the most significant enabler of performance enhancements and emission reductions this decade. These affordable technologies have attractive payback times and help generate immediate bunker and EU ETS savings and significant CO2 emission reductions.
