A Berlino, le autorità energetiche dell'Azerbaigian ed i vertici dell'Autorità portuale di Amburgo hanno tenuto un vertice operativo per definire la strategia di transizione ecologica degli scali e lo sviluppo delle infrastrutture per l'idrogeno verde. Il vertice s'inserisce nell'ambito della recente dichiarazione di partenariato strategico firmata tra le due Nazioni, orientata ad accelerare la neutralità climatica dei trasporti commerciali lungo i corridoi logistici che collegano il Bacino del Caspio ai mercati dell'Unione europea. La cooperazione punta a trasformare i nodi marittimi in veri hub puliti, focalizzandosi sul sistema del cold ironing per l'alimentazione elettrica banchinata delle navi, sull'elettrificazione delle movimentazioni di terra e sull'integrazione di fonti rinnovabili. Amburgo ha presentato il proprio modello che punta al traguardo emissioni zero entro il 2040, sostenuto da un imponente impianto di produzione di idrogeno da cento megawatt e da reti dedicate allo stoccaggio dei carburanti sintetici. Parallelamente, Baku sta strutturando con la Banca europea per la ricostruzione e lo sviluppo la propria strategia sull'idrogeno, con l'obiettivo di portare al quarantatré per cento la quota di energia pulita entro il 2035 successivo. La partnership strategica consolida il Corridoio centrale come arteria di trasporto marittimo e ferroviario a ridotto impatto ambientale. L'integrazione tra i terminali tedeschi e la rete logistica azera favorirà la creazione di catene di approvvigionamento green per i combustibili del futuro. L'iniziativa dimostra come la transizione dei grandi hub portuali rappresenti l'anello fondamentale per decarbonizzare il commercio globale e rendere competitiva la catena del valore dei trasporti transcontinentali.

German bunker supplier MB Energy has completed a biomethanol bunkering trial with a cruise ship at the Port of Kiel. IMAGE: Truck to ship methanol bunkering pilot of Mein Schiff 7 Cruise vessel in Kiel. MB Energy TUI Cruises-owned methanol-capable cruise shipMein Schiff 7was bunkered with 25 cbm of biomethanol at the port. MB Energy supplied the fuel, which was delivered by truck to the vessel at the Ostseekai Cruise Terminal by logistics firm Johannes Martens Spedition. The delivery truck also ran on 100% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO100) to reduce emissions associated with the fuel's delivery, MB Energy said. The biomethanol supplied during the pilot will mainly be used for the vessel's boiler operations. But the trial showed the port's infrastructure and safety readiness for methanol bunkering and its own ability to handle and supply the fuel “for major clients” in northern Europe, it added. MB Energy is upgrading its Hamburg-Blumensand storage facility to support larger supplies of low-emission methanol and ammonia. It plans to use Hamburg and Kiel as its main supply hubs in northern Germany, with potential to expand to other European ports.

August 24, 2026 © AYK Energy The marine battery manufacturer AYK Energy will unveil the world’s first swoppable containerized marine battery system at SMM in Hamburg next month (Hall B6 stand 342). AYK Energy founder Chris Kruger said the new containerized battery technology changes how marine batteries can be installed, deployed and operated. Kruger said the system’s flexibility allows batteries to be swopped or permanently installed, depending on operational needs. It will further eliminate much of the design work that has been needed for battery installations. “The beauty is in the ease and flexibility of use,” he said. “Our containerized batteries can be stacked onshore and charged off-site to be transported to ports when required. They can then be loaded onto vessels at speed and tailored to voyage energy requirements perhaps loading dozens of batteries at a time to meet short sea fully electric requirements in the EU for example to help meet ETS standards. It can further be used to deliver temporary hotel-load power while vessels are in port, reducing emissions, or operate as a swappable system at allows batteries to be exchanged between voyages. It can also be permanently installed for hybrid or fully electric vessels.” AYK Energy is primarily targeting the ferry, RoPax and passenger vessel market, although the new battery is also suitable for tugboats, feeder vessels, hybrid commercial craft and fully electric vessels, as well as other workboats requiring battery power. AYK confirmed it is already receiving orders for its ‘Cosmos’ battery, having successfully completed the New Technology Qualification (TQ) stage. For new technologies, TQ demonstrates the innovation is mature enough to begin class approval.

Allwright continues: "SMM remains one of the most important meeting places for the global maritime industry, making it the ideal venue to experience first-hand how far wind propulsion has progressed. The combination of technology suppliers, shipowners, classification societies, designers and researchers creates an unrivalled opportunity to understand where the market is today, and where it is heading." Concluding, Allwright says: “The growing presence of wind propulsion at SMM mirrors the wider transformation taking place across commercial shipping. What was once regarded as a niche, “blue skies” technology has rapidly become an increasingly mainstream element of vessel decarbonization strategies, offering shipowners immediate reductions in fuel consumption while complementing alternative fuels and energy efficiency measures. The growth in use of this energy source reflects increasing confidence from shipowners and reinforces the important role wind will play in shipping's energy transition.”

TRIESTE – Sviluppo di un nuovo strumento per supportare imprese e investitori nella valutazione economico-finanziaria dei progetti dedicati ai combustibili alternativi per il trasporto marittimo, nell’ambito del progetto SeaThrive. Avviato nell’aprile 2026 e finanziato dal programma Horizon Europe, SeaThrive è un’iniziativa della durata di 30 mesi che vede tra i partner M.A.R.E. TC FVG. L’obiettivo è favorire la diffusione dei combustibili alternativi nel settore marittimo, facilitando l’accesso agli investimenti e ai finanziamenti necessari per realizzare nuovi progetti. L’iniziativa nasce per affrontare una delle principali criticità della transizione energetica del trasporto marittimo: il divario tra lo sviluppo delle nuove tecnologie e la loro effettiva commercializzazione. Per questo SeaThrive accompagna imprese, fornitori di tecnologie e gli altri soggetti della filiera nel rafforzamento della sostenibilità economica e finanziaria dei progetti, aumentando le possibilità di attrarre capitali. La fase attuale del progetto è dedicata allo sviluppo del Financial Analytical Tool, uno strumento avanzato destinato a supportare imprese e investitori nell’analisi economico-finanziaria delle iniziative basate sui nuovi combustibili. Il sistema permetterà di valutare in modo integrato i costi di investimento (Capex), i costi operativi (Opex), gli effetti della normativa europea sulla decarbonizzazione, il potenziale di ricavi e i principali fattori di rischio. L’obiettivo è offrire una base oggettiva per confrontare diverse soluzioni tecnologiche, individuare quelle più sostenibili anche sotto il profilo economico e rendere i progetti più solidi e pronti ad attrarre investimenti. Il Financial Analytical Tool sarà sviluppato grazie al contributo congiunto di cluster industriali, centri di ricerca, università, piccole e medie imprese innovative ed esperti del settore marittimo. Lo strumento sarà inoltre validato attraverso casi applicativi concreti per verificarne l’efficacia in scenari reali. Il prossimo appuntamento del progetto sarà il workshop dedicato al Financial Analytical Tool, in programma il 2 settembre durante la fiera SMM di Amburgo. L’incontro consentirà ai partner di confrontarsi con gli stakeholder internazionali sullo sviluppo dello strumento e sul suo potenziale contributo alla transizione energetica del trasporto marittimo.

Financial support and clean fuel targets at the EU level can help Europe stay competitive in the emerging market, according to a report by T&E. IMAGE: The Port of Hamburg with the Elbe river. Getty Images According to The European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E)'s latest e-fuels tracker, Europe has 69 e-fuel projects that could serve the maritime sector, but only six are operational. In comparison, China has three operational projects that currently produce 10 times more than the European projects. The group warns that if this trend continues, Chinese output could flood European markets, unless Europe strengthens its domestic competitiveness. It has urged Europe to step up investment in domestic e-fuel production to maintain its competitive position. Estimated production volumes are sufficient to meet FuelEU Maritime's 1% Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) target by 2031, largely driven by the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley project. The Spanish project is expected to supply e-fuel to several industries, including shipping, and produce 474,000 tonnes of oil equivalent (toe) of e-ammonia and e-methanol annually. However, it is not yet expected to produce enough e-fuel to meet FuelEU Maritime's 2% e-fuels target that could apply from 2034. In China, 11 e-fuel projects will primarily target the maritime sector, with a combined projected output of 1.50 million-toe. Additionally, four more projects are expected to supply e-fuels to shipping alongside other industrial sectors, contributing a further 0.22 million-toe. According to the report, these production volumes could help shipping companies comply with green e-fuel mandates introduced at the regional, national and global levels. The report notes that three projects are already operational in the first phase of their production plans, while another 10 are under construction.

TRIESTE – Hapag-Lloyd ha firmato un accordo con l’Autorità Portuale di Amburgo (HPA) per l’utilizzo dell’alimentazione elettrica da terra in tutti i terminal dello scalo tedesco. L’intesa consolida l’impiego dell’infrastruttura di onshore power supply (OPS), già utilizzata con successo dalle portacontainer “Al Muraykh” e “Tihama” durante le recenti soste sulla linea Asia-Nord Europa NE2. L’accordo prevede che Hapag-Lloyd utilizzi l’alimentazione elettrica da terra ogni volta che l’infrastruttura sarà disponibile e il suo impiego risulterà operativo ed economicamente sostenibile, integrandola nella normale gestione della flotta. «L’alimentazione da terra è un elemento importante nel nostro percorso verso operazioni navali a basse emissioni nei porti e verso il nostro obiettivo di raggiungere emissioni nette zero per l’intera flotta entro il 2045 – ha dichiarato l’amministratore delegato di Hapag-Lloyd, Rolf Habben Jansen – Tutte le nostre nuove costruzioni sono già predisposte per l’alimentazione da terra e stiamo provvedendo all’ammodernamento delle navi esistenti idonee. Ovunque sia disponibile l’infrastruttura e il suo utilizzo sia economicamente vantaggioso, utilizziamo l’alimentazione da terra. Amburgo dimostra come gli investimenti in operazioni navali a basse emissioni possano essere messi in pratica». L’alimentazione elettrica da terra consente alle navi dotate degli appositi sistemi di spegnere i motori ausiliari durante la sosta in porto, alimentando i servizi di bordo direttamente dalla rete elettrica terrestre. La tecnologia contribuisce a ridurre le emissioni atmosferiche e l’inquinamento acustico nelle aree portuali. Attualmente circa il 35% della flotta di Hapag-Lloyd è già equipaggiato per utilizzare l’alimentazione da terra, mentre tutte le nuove navi della compagnia vengono costruite con questa predisposizione, nell’ambito della strategia di decarbonizzazione che punta al raggiungimento della neutralità climatica entro il 2045.
