According to the IMO's new climate protection plan, the CO2 emissions of all ships are to be reduced by 40% by 2030 will be. According to the Paris Convention, by the middle of the century the burning of fossil hydrocarbons can be largely stopped.
We are trying to think things through and we are already working on zero emission ships. For short distances we are already working in detail on highly efficient composite lightweight ships with full electric propulsion and for long distances we are working on future concepts for fast sailing ships with high performance rig as main propulsion and electric auxiliary propulsion for the near shore area.
