Future Shipping Team
Maritime decarbonization is an urgent priority for the whole industry – from the smallest tugs to the largest tankers and container ships. Bureau Veritas is committed to helping the sector achieve its net-zero targets and shape a better maritime world for all. That’s why we created the Future Shipping Team (FST). This global team brings together experts from across Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, as well as the wider Bureau Veritas Group.
The FST seeks to help clients make future-proof decisions about their fleets, focusing on pragmatic solutions to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Our areas of expertise range from alternative fuels and electrification to operational excellence and future designs. We support our clients by developing dedicated classification Rules, performing risk and lifecycle analyses, verifying sustainability claims for different fuels and “book and claim” systems.
Ship energy efficiency
As shipowners and operators look to cut emissions in the near term, operational measures have the greatest potential to help fleets meet these goals. These measures are easily implementable on many different types of vessels and can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
Bureau Veritas helps our clients assess which operational measures are the most viable for their vessels. The wide range of options currently available includes voyage and weather routing, slower sailing speeds and just-in-time arrival. These solutions can help our clients make an immediate impact on their environmental goals, as well as their operational performance.
