As we're gearing up to celebrate our company's 10-year anniversary, we've been reflecting on how much the maritime industry has changed over the past decade. 🌐
From the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) to the groundbreaking decision by the IMO in 2018 to halve carbon emissions from the maritime industry, the changes have been monumental.
And let's not forget the impact of the COVID-19 chaos!
Alfa Laval announces the completion of its acquisition of Marine Performance Systems B.V., a Rotterdam-based maritime technology company that has developed the first fluidic air lubrication system on the market.
The move will enable Alfa Laval to bring this environment-friendly technology to market, contributing significantly towards improving ship efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and minimizing emissions from ships.
StormGeo, a leading player in weather intelligence and operational decision support and part of Alfa Laval, has increased its holding in Climatempo, the premier meteorological services provider in Brazil.
With the increased shareholding, StormGeo is set to offer more comprehensive and advanced weather intelligence solutions to customers across South America.
Alfa Laval launches PureBilge Compact to extend the benefits of PureBilge technology to vessels of all sizes.
With PureBilge Compact, Alfa Laval opens its door to both small and large vessel segments to enjoy the benefits of PureBilge technology for bilge water treatment.
The compact, easy-to-install and cost-efficient solution with an enhanced environmental profile will help small and large vessels to meet compliance and sustainability targets.
This new year will bring new regulatory requirements that catalyse the drive to reduce carbon emissions.
The introduction of IMO's Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) rules will act as a stimulus to reduce the carbon intensity of all ships by 40% by 2030 compared to a 2008 baseline. This will increase pressure to reduce fuel consumption and emissions from ships along with commercial pressures to decarbonise vessels and operations.
This year will also see a ban on one antifouling substance and the entry into force of stricter at-berth emissions regulations in California.
Swiss marine power company WinGD – Winterthur Gas & Diesel and Belgian shipping and cleantech group CMB.TECH have signed an agreement on the development of ammonia-fuelled two-stroke engines.
The companies aim to install the ammonia dual-fuel X72DF engine on a series of ten x 210,000 DWT bulk carriers to be built at a Chinese shipyard in 2025 and 2026.

Alfa Laval introduces the marine industry’s first biofuel-ready separators.

After months of hard work, we are pleased to finally announce that we will be sending out our first ever quarterly newsletter!
