ClassNK has updated its report ‘ClassNK Alternative Fuels Insight’ initially released in May 2024, to Version 2.0. This update includes the latest information on alternative fuel ships, including orders and deliveries, demand outlook, and cost simulations for ammonia-fuelled ships. It supports customers’ future fuel options and investments.
Given the wide range of alternative fuels available for ships, it is necessary to consider not only technical evaluations but also to understand trends including cost and supply availability to make appropriate fuel selections. ‘ClassNK Alternative Fuels Insight’ provides latest trends for each alternative fuel.
In the newly released Version 2.0, information on the demand for alternative fuels, which is estimated by ClassNK based on information on alternative fuel ships scheduled for delivery, and cost simulations for ammonia-fueled ships that are expected to be ordered more frequently in the future have been added. In addition, the report provides information on the trend of green methane production projects that are expected to be used in LNG fuelled ships, the GHG emissions assessment of biofuels as an effective GHG reduction measure for conventional fuel ships, and our support for onboard CCS system, which is expected to be more widely adopted in the future. The report also provides information on the rating results of CII in force from 2023 for ships verified by ClassNK, including results by ship type and size.
The ‘ClassNK Alternative Fuels Insight’ is planned for continuous updates according to the latest trends of alternative fuels and regulations in international shipping.
As part of the ‘ClassNK Transition Support Services,’ ClassNK will continue to provide such useful information which support our customers' smooth transition to zero-emission.
‘ClassNK Alternative Fuels Insight’ is available on the following page of ClassNK’s website.
