AtoB@C Shipping, a Swedish subsidiary of shipping company ESL Shipping, and EFO, a joint venture of compatriot energy companies, have committed to a set of measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from their sea transports, reports Offshore energy.
Annual fuel consumption
As informed, the initiative will involve substituting 10% of the annual fuel consumption of EFO’s shipments with renewable alternatives, resulting in a projected 8.5% reduction in lifecycle emissions.
In addition, the companies have agreed to implement virtual arrival as a standard operational practice to optimize the speed of the vessels when there is a known delay in port.
So far two voyages have been performed with 100% renewable fuel under this contract with plug-in hybrid vessel Electramar unloading the second cargo in Oxelösund, Sweden last week.
Christened in May this year, Electramar is the first vessel in the series of twelve energy-efficient plug-in hybrid vessels. The 5,400 dwt general cargo ship was delivered to its owner by India’s Chowgule Shipyard in December 2023.
