In another pioneering step towards the decarbonisation of maritime transport, Tristar Group has signed an agreement with Turkey’s Akdeniz Shipyard to build a hybrid bunker barge for the UAE. Scheduled to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2025, the vessel will be positioned at Port of Fujairah, the multi-purpose maritime facility on the east coast of the UAE.
The 750-cubic metre capacity bunkering vessel is designed to house diesel generators as a backup to electric power. The barge will not have a conventional funnel and deck space saved will house the sizeable on board battery. Generators if run, will discharge flue gases under water so that GHG emissions into the atmosphere are greatly reduced.
This innovative design and the vessel’s powertrain will lower carbon emissions significantly, especially when compared to conventional diesel propulsion. With well-planned operations, it is expected that carbon emissions will be reduced by more than 50 per cent.

He attended the launching of the ‘Forward Faster’ initiative by the UNGC last December 4 with some members of the Tristar ESG Committee, namely Balaji Nagabhushan, Arthur Los Banos and Racheal Xavier. With them in photo is UNGC Assistant Secretary-General and CEO Sanda Ojiambo (3rd right).
