Green Corridors: towards sustainable shipping and fuels

Ms Bendtsen shed light on the Port of Roenne’s endeavor to transition into a green economy, with a particular focus on offshore wind installation projects and adopting sustainable fuels for shipping. The driving force behind this transition and the port’s aim to become a hub for alternative fuel bunkering are abundantly clear.

In this video, Ms Bendtsen shares her perspective on decarbonisation in the shipping industry and highlights the challenges faced in implementing a variety of fuels in ports with limited space, emphasising the need for preparation and collaboration among the various actors in the value chain.

Ms Bendtsen and Ms Beckmann also discuss the importance of energy efficiency and operational considerations, such as just-in-time arrival, acknowledge the transition to alternative fuels is not a straightforward process, and call for a future with multiple fuel options.

The conversation also touches on the constraints imposed by port locations near urban areas, and the potential impact on local communities in terms of discussions and decision-making processes.

The International Bulk Shipping Conference programme focused on market dynamics, challenges and opportunities related to shipping dry bulk materials, with sessions covering topics such as global trends and forecasts, technological advancements, sustainable shipping practices and environmental regulations, fleet management and optimisation, ports and terminal developments, financing and investment opportunities, and future growth and diversification.
