Briese Schiffahrt’s new Container Feeder (31. May 2023)
Shipping and sustainability
Shipping is by far the most efficient transportation method with regards of eco-efficiency. And also growing, i.e. the goods loaded worldwide are on a steady growth path and, according to Clarksons Research, increased by over 35 % since 2008.
Briese Schiffahrt group is transporting a significant stake of the world’s overall renewable energy production, e.g. the majority of all windmills produced globally. Demand of energy infrastructure will further increase making transportation capacity of multipurpose project carriers a scarce commodity.
Wind is providing the largest contribution to renewable energy growth. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC): “2020 was the best year in history for the global wind industry but this growth is not sufficient to ensure the world achieves net zero by 2050. The world needs to be installing wind power three times faster over the next decade in order to stay on a net zero pathway and avoid the worst impacts of climate change.”.
