Future forward testing as per ISO 8217 requirements and enhanced testing solutions for pre-emptive risk management
Global shipping accounts for 2–3% of worldwide emissions and the Maritime industry is working towards net zero emissions by 2050. As temporary measures, the IMO has established targets to achieve: a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030 (compared to 2008), and a 70–80% reduction by 2040. BioFuel, serving as a ‘drop-in’ fuel alternative that necessitates minimal changes to existing machinery, offers the Maritime industry a viable decarbonisation solution during these interim periods.
Maritec-Naias supports this transition by offering comprehensive testing solutions for BioFuels and Bio-alternatives, such as HVO and CNSL, through our Marine Fuel Testing Programme (MFTP) as well as tailored enhanced testing solutions.
