Maritime Fuel Demand Projections For 2050 At 1377 Global Ports

Projected fuel demand per vessel type in the year 2050 at 1377 ports worldwide. The dataset includes baseline fuel demand and projected port throughput, considering fourteen different trade scenarios and excluding trips shorter than 1000 km. Projections are given in tonnes of Heavy Fuel Oil.

Use Cases

• Model global maritime decarbonization pathways using projected fuel demand across fourteen trade scenarios.
• Analyze regional port infrastructure needs by comparing baseline and projected fuel demand at 1377 ports.
• Forecast vessel type-specific energy transitions by examining fuel demand projections excluding short electrified trips.
• Assess the impact of trade scenarios on Heavy Fuel Oil demand for long-haul maritime routes.

Strengths

• Covers 1377 global ports, providing wide geographic scope.
• Includes fourteen distinct trade scenarios for comparative analysis.
• Explicitly excludes trips under 1000 km, focusing analysis on long-haul fuel demand.

Limitations

• Projections are for a single future year (2050), lacking a multi-year time series.
• Exclusion of short trips may omit data relevant for regional or coastal shipping analysis.
• Unknown sample size or row count limits assessment of data granularity.
