10 years old Meyer Turku aims for carbon-neutral shipbuilding

artikkelikuva: 10 years old Meyer Turku aims for carbon-neutral shipbuilding

This autumn, it was ten years since the Meyer family's shipbuilding company became the host of the Turku shipyard. Over the past years, the shipyard has, typically for the industry, experienced both victories and challenges. In the anniversary year, the direction of Meyer Turku however remains clear: Both the world's most advanced cruise ships and the shipyard's own operations aim for carbon neutrality.

Auramarine ammonia fuel system

Modular, installation-friendly fuel supply system for engines and other ammonia consumers

artikkelikuva: Auramarine ammonia fuel system

Auramarine has 50 years of experience in delivering fuel supply systems for a variety of different fuels. These fuels include marine fuel oils (distillates and heavy residuals), natural gas, biofuels and methanol. The latest addition to this product offering is our ammonia fuel systems. Why ammonia? If produced in a sustainable way, ammonia can be a zerocarbon fuel and, together with methanol, a key part of shipping’s energy transition to net zero. This is also what makes it a valuable addition to Auramarine’s green portfolio.

Calling all ships - Reduce emissions!

artikkelikuva: Calling all ships - Reduce emissions!

Ships are responsible for more than 18 percent of some types of air pollutants. Reducing such emissions is a crucial step in the battle against global climate change. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and others have estimated that carbon dioxide emissions from shipping were equal to 2.5 percent of the global human-made emissions in 2019. They are expected to rise by 50 to 250 percent before the year 2050 if no action is taken.
