Summary/Abstract: The European Green Deal and the IMO initial and up-coming mid- and long-term Strategies for Greenhouse Gas reduction have sparked the development and implementation of technical solutions aiming at reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping. The use of alternative zero carbon and sustainable fuels is increasing, as are solutions based on combination of wind-power energy with environmental-friendly power sources. This harmonious combination of age-old sailing techniques and modern technology aims to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and enhance the overall efficiency of seaborne transportation.
