船舶与能源设备制造商瓦锡兰集团（Wärtsilä）透露，他们将为世界上最大的纯电池动力渡轮提供电力推进系统和喷水推进器。该船是一艘全新的Ro-Pax渡轮，由澳大利亚高速船（HSC）渡轮制造商印加塔斯马尼亚（Incat Tasmania）建造，且已被南美轮渡运营商Buquebús公司订购。这艘渡轮完全由电池供电，靠电动机驱动喷水推进器使渡轮前进。由瓦锡兰提供的电池是目前安装在船上最大的电池动力系统，容量超40兆瓦时（MWh），是此前最大船用电动或混合动力装置的4倍。同时，这艘船也是世界上首艘零排放、轻量化的双体船。据悉，其电池系统将于2024年交付，渡轮则于2025年开始运营。

Finnish technology group Wärtsilä has revealed it will provide its battery electric propulsion system and waterjets for the world’s largest battery - electric ferry. The vessel is a new Ro - Pax ferry being built by Incat Tasmania and has been ordered by South American shipowner Buquebús. The ferry will be fully battery powered, with e - motor driven Wärtsilä waterjets as the main propulsors. With more than 40 MWh of energy storage, it will be the largest battery system installed onboard a ship - four times as big as the current largest installation. The 130 - meter long vessel will also be the world’s first zero - emissions, lightweight catamaran. The battery systems are due for delivery at the end of 2024 and the vessel will start operations in 2025.

最新数据显示，今年1-7月，中国造船业三大指标均位居世界第一，所接订单船型附加值也越来越高。在此期间，中国造船完工量超过2400万载重吨，同比增长15.6%；新接订单量超过4400万载重吨，同比增长74%；手持订单量接近1.28亿载重吨，同比增长23.4%。中国造船厂成功交付了一批高端船型，其中包括液化天然气运输船、全球最大的超大型集装箱船、全球首艘M350型海上浮式储卸油船等。业内人士表示：“今年的订单船型越来越具有高技术、高附加值的特点。船型以液化天然气（LNG）运输船、30万吨级油轮和其他类型的散货船为主。”

From January to July 2023, all the three major indicators ranked first in the world. Meanwhile, the added value of the orders received is continuously growing. shipbuilding factories across China completed more than 24 million deadweight tonnage, a year - on - year increase of 15.6 percent. New orders received exceeded 44 million deadweight tonnage, a year - on - year increase of 74 percent. The total hand - held orders reached nearly 128 million deadweight tonnage, a year - on - year increase of 23.4 percent. A number of high - end ship types were successfully delivered by the Chinese shipbuilder, including the world's largest ultra - large container ship, LNG carriers, and the world's first M350 offshore floating storage and offloading ship. "The types of ships ordered this year feature increasingly high - tech and high added value. The main types of ships include LNG carriers, 300,000 - ton oil tankers, and other types of bulk carriers," said Li Lin, assistant to the director of the marketing department of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, Dalian branch.

挪威电力巨头Equinor宣布，世界上最大的海上浮动风电场Hywind Tampen已全面投入运营。Hywind Tampen由11台风力涡轮机组成，它们被安装在带有共享系泊系统的浮动混凝土结构上，其水深在260米至300米之间，系统总容量为88兆瓦（MW）。据悉，该风电场将为挪威北海的油气田作业平台提供电力，预计能满足SnorreA和B以及GullfaksA、B和C五个平台每年约35%的电力需求，可减少约20万吨的二氧化碳排放量。在项目开发过程中，受延迟交付、市场价格、汇率效应等的影响，其投资预测从最初的50亿挪威克朗增至74亿挪威克朗。不过，该项目的经济效益可能会因二氧化碳税率及天然气价格的上涨而提高。

Norway is marking the opening of the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm. The Hywind Tampen wind farm consists of 11 wind turbines that are installed on floating concrete spar structures with a shared anchoring system in water depths between 260 and 300 meters, the combined capacity is 88 megawatts (MW). Hywind Tampen will be used to power offshore oil and gas fields in the North Sea, enough to cover about 35% of the electricity needs of five platforms, namely Snorre A and B and Gullfaks A, B and C. It is expected to reduce CO2 emissions with 200,000 tonnes. Over the course of development, the investment forecast for the project has increased to NOK 7.4 billion, from NOK 5 billion initially, due to delayed deliveries, market prices, currency effects and so on. However, the project economy benefits from an expected CO2 tax and gas price increase.

根据马士基·麦克-凯尼·穆勒零碳航运中心的研究报告，预计到2027年，蓝氨将在航运业中将被大量使用，并有可能在随后的几年里大幅扩大生产规模。尽管生产蓝氨需要用到天然气，但在蒸汽甲烷重整制氢（SMR）过程中产生的二氧化碳是能够被捕获并储存的。此外，相较于其它低排放燃料，蓝氨能够利用现有技术迅速扩大生产规模，且生产成本较低。因此，如果能建造更多的氨燃料动力船舶，那么蓝氨可能会成为成本更低、推广更快的替代燃料。该航运中心估计，到2030年，航运业每年将需要3400万吨蓝氨以实现其脱碳目标。

Blue ammonia is expected to become available in significant quantities by 2027, with the potential for significant scale - up in production over subsequent years, according to a recent report by Mærsk Mc - Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. Blue ammonia is produced from natural gas, but carbon capture and storage (CCS) is used to capture, transport, and permanently sequester the CO2 byproduct. The attractiveness of blue ammonia lies in its ability to scale up quickly using existing technologies and low production costs compared to other low - emission fuels. Therefore, if ships can be built ready for propulsion by ammonia, then blue ammonia presents an opportunity for a lower - cost and quicker - scaling fuel than most alternatives. Mærsk Mc - Kinney Møller Center estimates that 34 million tonnes of blue ammonia per year will be needed for the maritime industry by 2030 to meet its decarbonization goals.
