Bold Moves for a Sustainable Maritime Industry!

In an exciting development for the maritime sector, MAN Energy Solutions has teamed up with COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (CHI) to spearhead decarbonisation initiatives through retrofit projects. This dynamic partnership, announced on April 10, marks a significant leap towards reducing emissions in shipping.

Transforming Ships with Innovative Solutions!

The newly signed framework agreement sets the stage for retrofitting existing vessels to operate on cleaner alternative fuels such as methane, methanol, and ammonia. MAN Energy Solutions is set to deliver advanced engine-retrofit technology along with cutting-edge digital energy efficiency solutions, while CHI will utilize its vast expertise in large-scale ship modifications.

A Powerhouse in Ship Modifications!

With an impressive network of five ship-repair yards, CHI boasts the capacity to repair and modify around 1,500 ships each year, making it a formidable ally in the quest for sustainability.

Decarbonisation: A Global Imperative!

Michael Petersen, a prominent figure at MAN Energy Solutions, expressed his enthusiasm: 'This agreement allows us to collaborate closely with CHI, one of the world's largest repair yard groups. Together, we aim to tackle the decarbonisation of the global commercial fleet. Currently, about 4,500 vessels worldwide have the potential to transition from traditional bunker fuel to eco-friendly alternatives.'

Charting a Course for the Future!

As the maritime industry faces increased pressure to adopt greener practices, this partnership is poised to lead the charge towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future. Stay tuned as MAN Energy Solutions and CHI work together to revolutionize the way ships operate and combat climate change!
