Berge Bulk to equip dry cargo fleet with decarbonisation systems

Singapore-based dry bulk shipping company Berge Bulk and technology firm Kongsberg Maritime have entered into a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop and advance the deployment of decarbonisation technologies onboard Berge Bulk’s dry cargo vessels.

There are two elements of the joint development project. The first will be to evaluate and test emerging decarbonisation technologies for use in the maritime sector. The second will be to integrate both future and existing technologies into deployable systems that can be installed on Berge Bulk’s fleet of over 80 dry bulk vessels.

The project is in line with Berge Bulk’s aims to be carbon-neutral by 2025 at the latest and to have a zero-carbon ocean-going dry bulk carrier fleet by 2030.
