Developing solutions for sustainable shipping requires a holistic view. Main engines for future vessels will no longer be used solely for propulsion. Instead, they will be part of an integrated energy system which in turn will be connected to other vessels, ports and even the complete transportation or logistics chain. Sustainable shipping solutions will also depend on the supply of fuels with a minimal carbon footprint, while future engines will need to be capable of using those fuels reliably, efficiently and with low emissions.
