This time, the Brazilian oil company issued a tender to hire studies to assess future scenarios for the decarbonisation of maritime transportation. The contract involves the evaluation of options to decarbonise vessels through logistics and digitalization, hydrodynamic and machinery improvements and the use of technologies for carbon dioxide capture and alternative fuels such as hydrogen,
methanol, biodiesel and LNG. Earlier this year, Petrobras chartered its first AHTS equipped with hybrid propulsion. As previously mentioned in our Weekly Market Update, AHTS Mr Chafic of
