This year the sale of a 51% stake of Everllence was agreed for about $8.5bn to a private equity firm Bain. VW retaining the other 49% In this interview TradeWinds senior editor Craig Eason sits down with Everllence chief executive Dr Uwe Lauber to talk about the sale, the future and the lack of shipowner appetite for the new engines that the company has spent millions of dollars developing.

  In conversation: Andreas Enger, Hoegh Autoliners

  Aug 28, 202618 min

  After making a big deal about its belief that green ammonia is the future fuel for shipping, Oslo-listed and based Hoegh Autoliners has just placed an order for a further 12 vessels to be built to be fuelled by LNG and diesel. It is a move that suggests it may not believe in its green objectives anymore, afterall its previous orderbook was for 12 of its new "Aurora" class vessels, with the latter four to be delivered with the ability to use green ammonia on delivery, as the fuel produces no CO2 when used in a ship's engine. In this interview with TradeWInds senior editor Craig Eason, Hoegh Autoliner chief executive Andreas Enger explains the decision and why he still believes that the company Aurora fleet will be fuelled by ammonia eventually. In this interview he lays the blame and points to where the ammonia is going to come from. produced nd hosted: Craig Eason Guest: Andreas Enger, chief executive, Hoegh Autoliners A TradeWInds/DN Media podcast Hosted on Acast.

  Guiding Stars finalist Evangelos Efstathiou

  Aug 19, 202631 min

  Each month until October, TradeWinds will publish a profile of a finalist in our Guiding Stars series, a project highlighting the people making tangible change in shipping. Our seventh Guiding Stars finalist is Evangelos Efstathiou, chief executive of digital platforms Marsoft and Burmester & Vogel (B&V) and founder of Skysail Advisors. Evan has been deeply entrenched in the maritime tech world for over 20 years, during which time he has developed new software, advised on investments and mergers and acquisitions in the space, and also completed some deals of his own.  He reflects on his own career, how shipping uses data, investor appetite for maritime tech and looks ahead to how the era of AI will make or maybe even break some vendors in the space. TradeWinds' 10 Guiding Stars finalists have been nominated by our readers and editorial team. These are people who are innovating and tackling some of shipping's biggest issues. Later this year, we will ask you to vote on who will receive our TradeWinds Guiding Star award for 2026, which will be announced in November. Host and producer: Holly Birkett, TradeWinds reporter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  In conversation: BW LNG and its three tank gas carrier plans

  Jul 6, 202611 min

  LNG shipping can be something of a conservative, risk-averse sector. So to learn that the first mover on a new three-tank vessel design was BW LNG surprised some in the sector. In this episode of Wavelength+, TradeWinds correspondent Lucy Hine, who has a focus on LNG, sat down with three senior executives from the company to hear about the new vessel and why the company had opted to make the move. BW LNG executive vice president and head of LNG shipping Petter Larsson spelled out the company’s guiding principle which has led it to take the plunge on this pioneering quartet. Head of technology Serge Schwalenstocker and the company’s chief of key account management and operations Riju Cherian explained how adding tank reinforcement, lowering the ship’s boil-off rate and upsizing its reliquefaction unit remove will give charterers a new flexibility on trading these ships. “There is no downside, only upside,” Larsson says, as the company starts to take industry questions on its new ships, and ultimately market them.
