New report brings together expertise from across shipping, ports, fuel suppliers, academia and regulators to support the safe transition to net zero.
The UK Chamber of Shipping has published Alternative Fuels: Building the Safety Evidence Base, a landmark report bringing together industry expertise to identify and assess the safety considerations associated with the fuels expected to power shipping’s transition to net zero.
