UCL-Energy and Lloyd's Register have released 'Global Marine Fuel Trends 2030' which explores the drivers for the future energy mix in shipping in 2030. The report provides insight into future fuel demand for the containership, bulk carrier/general cargo and tanker sectors - representing approximately 70% of the global shipping industry’s fuel demands.
