HD Hyundai Samho Delivers Maersk's First Very Large Ammonia Carrier

HD Hyundai Samho delivered Jane Maersk, its first Very Large Ammonia Carrier, to Maersk Tankers in a shipyard handover, no cargo carried. The 93,000 cbm vessel adds to Samho's 22-vessel, $2.55 billion VLAC backlog, addressing ammonia carrying capacity, distinct from bunkering infrastructure.

China Ships World's Largest Single Green Ammonia Cargo to South Korea

Jilin Electric Power shipped a reported world's-largest 3,750-tonne green ammonia cargo from its Da'an complex to South Korea. The RFNBO-certified ammonia, produced from 800MW of wind and solar, gives Jilin export access to EU compliance markets alongside Japan and Korea buyers.

Onboard Carbon Capture Gets Its First Real Compliance Value Under the EU ETS

Project CAPTURED secured two milestones for onboard carbon capture: EU ETS recognition deducting captured CO2 from a vessel's allowance surrender, and IMO in-principle support for carbon mineralization as permanent storage. The pilot achieved a 7.9% net GHG reduction.

China Launches Methanol Shipping Alliance to Accelerate Green Transition

China launched a Methanol Fuel Shipping Supply Chain Innovation Alliance with 20 members including Sinopec, COSCO, PetroChina, Methanex and the Methanol Institute. It arrives as methanol newbuild orders fell sharply, from 149 in 2024 to just 4 in early 2026.

DP World Bets $1M on Biofuel-Based Carbon Insetting for Ocean Freight

DP World will invest $1 million over four quarters in Hapag-Lloyd's Ship Green carbon insetting programme, expected to avoid 4,762 tonnes of CO2 via certified waste-based biofuel. Unlike offsetting, insetting replaces conventional fuel directly on the customer's own shipments.

Inside Singapore's S$800M AI Transport Push, a Line for Fuel Safety

Singapore's Parliament backed an S$800 million transport research package, RIE2030, spanning AI and autonomy. Within its maritime portion, funding is earmarked for alternative-fuel safety research, including leak detection, supporting the shift to biofuel, methanol and ammonia bunkering.

Container Lines Are Hedging Their Bets on Alternative Fuels

ONE marked the maiden voyage of ONE Solidarity, a methanol- and ammonia-ready container ship, not yet burning either fuel but built for future conversion. It reflects a wider trend of carriers ordering dual-fuel-ready tonnage rather than committing to a single alternative fuel pathway.

IMO 2020 shows future marine fuels will scale through bunker hubs first

IMO 2020 looked like a global regulation story. The better reading is more practical: marine fuel rules work when the bunkering system can absorb them. That matters now because shipping is heading into a much harder fuel transition.

How Green Methanol Is Made, and Why Supply Is Still Tight

Green methanol is made through two main routes. The first is biomethanol, which uses biogenic feedstocks such as forestry and agricultural residues, biogas, sewage-derived gas, municipal solid waste, and black liquor from pulp mills.

IMO Net-Zero framework debate shifts as early signals point to more pragmatic, market-led approach

With MEPC 84 still a month away, early submissions from IMO member states suggest an emerging shift in how global shipping decarbonisation could be regulated, with increasing emphasis on political feasibility, market readiness and technology neutrality.
