AP Moller Maersk, Fleet Management, Keppel Offshore & Marine, Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, Sumitomo Corporation, and Yara International have entered into a memorandum of understanding to conduct a feasibility study on developing the supply chain for provision of green ammonia ship-to-ship bunkering at the Port of Singapore - the largest bunkering port in the world.

The study will assess the supply of ammonia including potential synergies with LPG as a starting point. Considering the comparable requirements for mild refrigerated storage, vessels or barges initially designed for LPG can also handle brown, blue and green ammonia.

The Kiribati island of Banaba, 6km² in area, 285 kilometres from Nauru, is struggling with acute need of water, sanitation and hygiene assistance. The island's two desalination plants are out of commission, awaiting repair for three months, and it's been almost a year without substantial rain. Children are suffering diarrhoea and skin diseases are rampant.

The island leadership is calling on Australia and New Zealand and the international community to respond to this crisis because they have the resources and capacity to do so.

Peder Osterkamp, shipping lead at COP26 Climate Champions, Dr Tristan Smith, reader in energy and shipping, University College London, and Kasper Søgaard, head of research at the Global Maritime Forum, have released an important analysis suggesting zero emission fuels need to make up 5% of the international shipping fuel mix by 2030 to enable decarbonisation in line with Paris Agreement goals.

The ambition of the Getting to Zero Coalition is to have commercially viable zero emission vessels operating along deep sea trade routes by 2030. It is expected this study will become a reference point in the conversation around shipping decarbonisation.
