Project

The shipping industry is responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and this is expected to increase as global trade and shipping activity continues to grow. As such, reducing emissions from shipping is an important part of global efforts to tackle climate change.

MISSION targets GHG emissions reductions in the maritime transportation chain, specifically optimizing the port call process. Within the project, integrated port call system solutions are build to increase transparency and communication about resource readiness and estimated arrival times to finally orchestrate the overall port call process. The project contains demonstration cases that will highlight the gains from the system solutions.

MAN Energy Solutions is developing a new two-stroke dual fuel natural gas-diesel marine engine based on new premixed combustion technology. The current project aims to study the methane slip which is one of the main challenges of the premixed technology. The pilot diesel fuel injection parameters will be optimized to obtain higher efficiency and lower emissions.

The project uses digital innovation to monitor RoRo shipping emissions and optimize the industry operational and strategic planning. By doing so, we reduce the fuel consumption of the used vessels, which have the highest impact factor on the GHG emissions produced during maritime shipping.
