Moore Singapore is pleased to share our latest report, Navigating the Green Fuel Transition, co-authored by Dr Sanjay C Kuttan, Head of Sustainability Innovation at Singapore Institute of Technology and Founder/CEO of Kai Gaia International Advisory, and Lao Mei Leng, Senior Partner, Shipping & Sustainability at Moore Stephens LLP.
As the maritime industry accelerates towards decarbonisation, there is no single clear successor to conventional fuel oil. Instead, the industry is increasingly diverging across multiple fuel pathways, including LNG, methanol, ammonia, biofuels and e-fuels.
For vessels being ordered today that are expected to remain in service well into the 2050s, the challenge extends beyond cost considerations. Shipowners and operators must navigate a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by carbon regulations, infrastructure readiness, fuel availability and long-term commercial viability.
This report examines the opportunities and challenges associated with the leading alternative fuel options and explores the strategic considerations that will influence fuel adoption across the maritime sector.
Key Highlights
- A comparative look at LNG, methanol, ammonia and biofuels, weighing their commercial maturity against long-term carbon and infrastructure risk
- Why fuel viability is increasingly route- and vessel-specific, with liner and tramp operators likely to diverge in their fuel choices
- Why success will be defined less by picking the “perfect” fuel, and more by supply-chain synchronisation across ports, financing, regulation and workforce capability
