Fleet decarbonization strategy
Turning your GHG goals into cost-efficient, actionable fleet strategies.
As emissions regulations tighten and low-GHG fuels become mandatory, shipowners must act swiftly to future-proof their fleets. Balancing current requirements with long-term decarbonization goals requires a clear, cost-effective strategy.
Our scenario-based framework for navigating the fuel and technology transition
DNV Maritime Advisory has developed a scenario-based framework to help shipowners and other maritime stakeholders navigate uncertainties and make confident decisions about fleet decarbonization. Built on extensive fleet simulation experience, tools and databases, our approach guides you through these critical steps:
- Define your GHG trajectory and goals
Choose whether to meet minimum compliance or set ambitious GHG reduction targets. Consider both regulatory demands (e.g. IMO, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime) and the growing commercial opportunity of offering green transport services. - Assess pathways to meet your GHG goals
Using DNV’s advanced fleet simulation model, we analyse multiple decarbonization scenarios to account for uncertainties such as regulatory shifts, technology advancements, and fuel alternatives. - Develop a tailored decarbonization plan
Based on insights from our simulations, we help create a strategic plan with short-, medium-, and long-term milestones, ensuring your fleet meets its GHG targets while optimizing cost-efficiency. This plan covers both existing ships and future newbuilds.
How we support you in preparing actionable fleet strategies
We combine our unique modelling tools and cross-disciplinary expertise to help you make informed, strategic decisions on fleet decarbonization, including:
- Realistic GHG targets – Aligned with your company’s ambitions and GHG regulations.
- Evaluation of compliance measures – Including alternative fuels, onboard CCS, energy efficiency upgrades, speed reduction, and alternative compliance methods
- Low-GHG fuel demand and cost – We assess the future demand and financial impact of low-GHG fuels.
- Fleet projections – We project fleet composition, fuel consumption, GHG emissions, and abatement costs for multiple future scenarios.
