Danish Maritime Authority to make a push for alternative fuels

The Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) says it will push for global regulations that will incentivise production and uptake of alternative bunker fuels.

DMA has entered into a knowledge-sharing partnership with the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping to work towards decarbonising shipping.

DMA and Mærsk Mc-Kinney say uptake of new fuel types are needed to realise systemic changes to achieve long-term decarbonisation targets in the shipping industry, which accounts for 3% of global carbon emissions.
