SUSTAINABLE FUEL CHICKEN AND EGG REDUX:THE PORT DRIVEN SOLUTION
Should ports agree on an optimal sustainable fuel for ships?
As carriers and alternate fuel providers continue in their arguments as to which sustainable fuels are best, the result has been a mess.
If major ports were to “agree on a sustainable fuel…we can gain great efficiencies and save untold billions.” “Even if one fuel is
somewhat less efficient or somewhat more expensive, once considered on an overall system level, it almost undoubtedly will be more
efficient if it is the single sustainable fuel. “…Let the Ports provide a clear course on sustainable fuels.”
