The Telegraph - Navigating a cleaner future for shipping industry
Rachel Millard - The Telegraph
At 337 metres, Carnival’s Aidanova cruise ship is longer than The Shard building is high. And with 5,200 rooms, it has more space to house guests than Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. When the ship was christened in 2018, more than 25,000 people attended its naming ceremony at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
Passengers who joined the maiden cruise around the Canary Islands may have been unaware of the ship’s other distinction. Aidanova was also the world’s first cruise ship powered by liquefied natural gas, in a shift away from the treacly bunker fuel and diesel that powers most of the world’s big ships, to try to cut sulphur, nitrogen and carbon emissions.

The Business Magazine - Shipping industry reduces carbon emissions with Wiltshire based space technology
By Nicky Godding - The Business Magazine
A UK start-up based in Devizes, Wiltshire is using satellite data to develop technology that will help the shipping industry reduce its CO2 emissions.
Around 90 per cent of everything we consume is moved by sea, and as world trade continues to grow, there is an increasing number of ships crossing our oceans, each using vast amounts of energy.
The shipping industry is responsible for around 940 million tonnes of CO2 annually, which is at least 2.5 per cent of the world’s total CO2 emissions.
The International Maritime Organszation has set a target for it to cut these emissions by half by 2050.
