CIMC SOE has secured orders for two 20,000-cubic-meter LNG bunkering vessels and one 18,900-cubic-meter LNG bunker vessel, which are interpreted to strengthen the Chinese firm’s foothold in the clean energy vessel construction sector and demonstrate its sustained competitiveness in the international LNG bunker vessel market.
Currently, the firm’s orderbook for the 20,000-cubic-meter LNG bunker vessel model has reached a cumulative total of ten ships, while orders for the 18,900-cubic-meter LNG bunker vessel model now stand at three ships. The company is progressing steadily on the first type, maintaining a

LONDON, UK – 20 January 2026: Industry coalition SEA-LNG has published its annual ‘View from the Bridge’ report, highlighting 2025 as a year of strong growth in LNG, liquefied biomethane (LBM/bio-LNG) and e-methane emissions reductions, costs and availability. This year’s report “The Journey” highlights a decade of progress towards a cleaner future powered by over $150 billions of investment to increase use of LNG (methane) as a marine fuel.
With LNG powered vessels ordered in 2025 accounting for 79% of alternative-fuelled tonnage, up from 67% in 2024, the LNG-powered global fleet both operating and on-order, including LNG carriers, today represents 10% of the global fleet by dead weight tonnage. From a niche solution used by vessels in Northern Europe in 2016, today,

IMO delays, EU compliance strategies, and digital shortcuts for seafarers
QUICK ANSWER: 2026 MARITIME DECARBONIZATION ESSENTIALS
IMO Global Framework Status:
• Net-Zero Framework delayed until October 2026 after member state divisions
• Global Fuel Standard targets well-to-wake fuel lifecycle emissions
• EEXI and CII short-term measures under mandatory review in 2026
• Target: 40% carbon intensity reduction by 2030 vs 2008 baseline
• Checkpoint: 25% total GHG reduction by 2030, 75% by 2040
EU Compliance Deadlines:
► EU ETS expands to methane and nitrous oxide from January 1, 2026
► Surrender 100% of 2026 emissions by September 2027
► FuelEU reports for 2025 due January 31, 2026
► FuelEU Document of Compliance mandatory by June 30, 2026
► Onshore power connection required from January 1, 2030
UK ETS Expansion:
• Domestic maritime scheme starts July 1, 2026
• Covers vessels 5,000 GT+ on UK-to-UK voyages
• Double-surrender rule: 2026 and 2027

Chinese researchers have built an ocean carbon recycling system for capturing oceanic carbon dioxide and turning it into succinic acid, used to make biodegradable plastic.
The system extracted carbon dioxide from Shenzhen Bay’s seawater for more than 530 hours continuously, recording a 70% carbon capture efficiency.
The project was led by GAO Xiang and XIA Chuan from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, respectively.

This is the first time ever that a complete process of the same has been demonstrated, right from marine CO2 capture to creating chemical feedstock which is completely usable.
