According to Loyd’s Register, following the 80th session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 80) in July 2023, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has published interim guidance on the calculations of the conversion factor (Cf) for marine biofuels blends.

WinGD has secured the an approval in principle (AiP) by Lloyd's Register for ammonia two-stroke engines applicable to a range of vessels. 

''As we continue the journey towards a more sustainable future, it is not a question of when, but rather how we will achieve the required transition.'' says Nick Brown, Chief Executive Officer, Lloyd’s Register.

According to the latest report by Lloyd’s Register, for the maritime sector, the triple planetary crisis, characterised by climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution, will be the defining challenge that shapes the decades ahead.
