Project Objective
The purpose was to identify financial support opportunities for new builds and retrofitting of existing ships to enable them to operate on Zero-Emission fuels based on well to wake, as well as for measures to improve energy efficiency. The financial support and guarantees may come from public or private funds, as well as multilateral development banks, etc. Conventional banks loans is not a part of the study. There is no GT limit on the ships included in the study.
Many shipping companies are postponing investments in new build dual fuel vessels and energy efficiency improvements, despite technological developments. It appears that securing full financing is challenging. This study aimed to make it easier for ship owners on a global scale to choose green solutions for their ships by providing them an easy overview of financial support and guarantee opportunities for investments in new builds, retrofitting and/or energy efficiency improvements.
