    Fuel for Thought: FuelEU - A detailed look at what implementation means for you

    Following entry into force of the FuelEU Maritime regulation on 1 January 2025, our latest podcast delves into its practical implications and what implementation means for you. In this episode, Lucy Dibdin, LR External Communications Director, is joined by Ryan Bax, LR Business Advisory Lead Consultant and Jennifer Riley-James, LR Lead Regulatory Specialist. Our experts provide insight and clarification on grey areas relating to the FuelEU regulation – which is designed to support the decarbonisation of the shipping industry by reducing the greenhouse gas intensity of fuels used by ships operating in the EU. Key topics discussed include: flexibility compliance mechanisms (banking, borrowing and pooling), penalties for non-compliance, fuel sustainability reporting, wind power integration, fuel blending, and direct emissions monitoring.

    Readying the workhorses of the sea: The path to zero-carbon bulk carriers

    How can bulk owners and operators balance short-term commercial pressures and long-term climate imperatives? What investments, strategies and collaborations can best position fleets for deep decarbonisation? What role do class societies and other stakeholders play in enabling the transition? This podcast will deliver meaningful insights on what it takes to ‘green’ bulk shipping while balancing commercial realities and climate imperatives. The dry bulk shipping industry is at a crossroads. Bulk carrier owners and operators must pursue deep emissions cuts, while maintaining uninterrupted services. New regulations like IMO’s 2050 net zero target and the Carbon Intensity Index will force change, yet adequate zero-carbon fuels and technology remain years from being market-ready. How can new regulations, alternative fuels, efficiency gains, and innovations like wind assisted propulsion enable the transition? How can bulk owners and operators balance short-term commercial pressures and long-term climate imperatives? What investments, strategies and collaborations can best position fleets for deep decarbonisation? What role do class societies and other stakeholders play in enabling the transition? This podcast will deliver meaningful insights on what it takes to ‘green’ bulk shipping while balancing commercial realities and climate imperatives. Talking points: How shipowners face a lottery in choosing future green fuels and technologies today Metrics like IMO’s CII/AER and their unintended consequences Achieving alignment between shippers and owners Wind power: its potential as well as limitations in scaling across route networks The near-term efficiency gains offered through waste heat recovery and digital optimisation Alternative fuels, safety, ship redesign and regulation Onboard carbon capture and managing captured CO2 waste streams Hosted on Acast.

    The perfect secondhand tanker in today's market

    Join Lloyd's Register's Nikolaos Mikas and Riviera Maritime Media's Edwin Lampert in open discussion on these critical points as a panellist on a special Lloyd's Register / Riviera Maritime Media Expert Voices podcast. Buoyant crude and product tanker markets, delivery dates of 2026 and 2027 for new tonnage and continued uncertainty on fuel choices at the newbuilding stage have propelled sales and purchase activity in the second hand tanker market and set asset values soaring. This development brings key questions into sharp focus. The looming tanker capacity crunch Available tonnage on the second hand market Factoring in CII and EEXI requirements Matching the right secondhand tanker and the right trade Understanding terminal restrictions and requirements Options for extending service life of older tonnage Hosted on Acast.

    Green Corridors and investment risk to decarbonisation

    What are the key investment risks? What do green corridors and the Silk Alliance do to address this? Options are limited right now and with high risks. Most are unable to invest in long-term solutions.Collaborations with governments and ports are needed in green corridors to support the investments.Many aspects and challenges remain, but we need to gain exposure and education on them as a first step to solving them.

    Closing the loop on shipping's circular economy

    Shipping has focused on fuels as the one factor it can control in the push to decarbonise, but the creation of a truly sustainable industry will require a more holistic ‘lifecycle’ approach. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Remote capability – equivalence and beyond

    This time around, we are talking about remote capability and how the COVID-19 crisis has transformed the maritime industry's appetite and acceptance of remote technologies. Across the board, classification societies have seen an increase in remote surveys, but our conversation will focus on developments; how equivalence must evolve to enhance the efficiency of remote capability. What technologies will we need to employ to drive further efficiencies in remote capability, and what will the next step-change look like? Nicola Good, Global Head of Brand and External Relations for Lloyd's Register, hosts a conversation with Ralph Juhl, Senior Vice President, at Hafnia and James Forsdyke, Head of Product Management for Lloyd's Register.
