05AUG2019 - NEWS - Owners examine options for greener crew transfer vessels

Interest is growing rapidly in technology that can make crew transfer vessels more fuel efficient and reduce their emissions. An industry-wide push to reduce the environmental effects of shipping is underway. It takes many forms, depending on the sector, but most initiatives focus on using new technology to reduce CO2 emissions, fuel consumption and costs. Not only does this benefit companies economically, it also reflects the responsibility the shipping and offshore sectors have in addressing climate change. Given that they are designed to support generation of clean energy, vessels in the offshore wind industry are an obvious choice for adopting emissions-reducing technology.
