Shipping companies are taking concrete actions in driving decarbonisation. This chapter provides case studies demonstrating the actions and is written particularly for shipowners and charterers. In this chapter, the authors advocate shipping companies join coalitions to learn, align and take collective action. They present cases of wind assisted propulsion, energy efficiency improvements with batteries and air-lubrication, auto-mooring systems, port arrival information system and removing cargo from land to an automatic vessel and use of biofuel. These cases show reduced fuel consumption from a few percent up to 25%.
