Developing countries, especially small island developing states (SIDS) and least developed countries (LDCs), need support to adjust to global efforts to cut climate-warming emissions from international shipping, says UNCTAD in a new report assessing the potential impacts of IMO short-term measures on GHG emissions.

Penfield claims that it has carried out its first carbon-neutral voyage, which also alleges is the first by a tanker pool.

During the last month, Stena Line has deployed its AI solution to another two vessels with the aim to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 5%, making a total of seven vessels in Germany and the Baltic Sea.
