Green Shipping – Fuel for the future of shipping – DW – 15.08.2024

Shipping companies know that their ships need a significant ecological boost.

Without ships, there can be no global trade. New legal requirements and environmentally conscious customers are increasing the pressure on shipping companies to offer CO2-neutral transport. If the companies want to continue to play a key role, they must act. Some pioneers are therefore taking the first, difficult steps. They want to convert their ships to climate-neutral fuels. A bold step.

Green Shipping – Driving the future of maritime transport
A ship with a Flettner rotor is a rotating cylinder that is exposed to the wind flow. It acts like a sail and generates a force perpendicular to the flow through the Magnus effect. This can save up to 15% energy.Image: Albatross World Sales

While the energy transition has long been underway in other transport sectors, little attention has been paid to climate protection in international shipping. But now the industry is under pressure. Legal requirements have been passed at national and international level or are about to be passed.

The film follows shipowners, engineers and researchers as they shape an energy revolution on the water. The sector must be redesigned in such a way that the climate and the environment are protected – while at the same time international maritime transport remains profitable. Can this change be achieved in time?
