Their decisions serve to again emphasize that the industry is moving forward environmentally and doing what is right.
Shipping, and in fact, the global environment cannot afford to wait for future solutions that may or not be safe, affordable, and scalable. To suggest that moving to LNG today and gaining the well-known air quality benefits and proven greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions now blocks future emissions reductions is at best, ill advised. At worst, it is dangerous. Delaying only exacerbates the current situation. We must continue to act now.

Many journalists and Twitteratis around the world might be having withdrawal symptoms after the Ever Given has been refloated from being stuck diagonally across the Suez Canal..
Although the vessel was stuck for only 6 days, I think this has been the most amount of media coverage that the shipping and freight industry has received in a very long time with many mainstream media reporting about it and world leaders speaking about it..
And now that the â
boatâ that was stuck in a â
canalâ has been refloated and all “
Issuez have been resolved“, let us see what’s next for the Ever Given and the shipping and freight industry..

GTT has received Approval in Principle (AiP) for the NO96 containment system application as an LNG fuel tank for Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) from the classification society DNV GL.
GTT and DNV GL reviewed the compatibility of the NO96 technology within a container vessel hull to ensure that the integration of such a containment system is fit for purpose. Under the AiP procedure, a sloshing assessment of the containment system was also been performed.
Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT, said: “This Approval by DNV GL now allows us to offer to the ship-owners two membrane technologies: Mark III technology, which has already been certified, and NO96. NO96, already used in over 200 LNG [carriers], represents a reliable and competitive solution which is particularly well adapted to Ultra Large Container Vessel fuel tanks.”
