Member Survey:
UAE Marine Industry Guidelines for Future Power Configurations

As part of the Leadership and Sustainability Committee’s ongoing work, Emirates Shipping Association is exploring the development of an industry guideline on future power configurations for the UAE marine sector.

We value your input and the insights you share will help shape the scope and focus of this work.

The survey takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Thank you for lending your time and expertise.

Q4 — What is the approximate size of your fleet or operation?
Q5 — What is your role in decisions related to vessel power configuration or fuel strategy?

Industry Landscape

Q7 — Would your organisation find value in an industry guideline focused on future vessel power configurations and decarbonisation pathways?
Q11 — In order to reduce your fleet's CO2 footprint long term, do you consider the fuel or the engine-room configuration to be the most important factor — and why?

Technology Pathways

Q13 — Would you consider switching to biofuels if you could rely on availability and receive incentivising charter-rate increases?
