Tapping the future of shipping - Since the beginning of last year, Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet has been operating using IMO 2020-compliant low-sulphur fuel oil, thereby reducing its sulphur-oxide emissions by over 70 percent compared to 2019. In addition, fuel savings of around 15 percent were achieved on 39 vessels by removing fouling from their outer hulls. At the same time, Hapag-Lloyd is the first shipping company in the world that has converted a large container ship to dual-fuel propulsion, which can operate using liquefied natural gas (LNG).
