Shipping

Seamen stow away the mooring ropes on the British Ruby
By 2030 global oil production is estimated to reach 100 million barrels a day. How much energy will we need to invest in moving it around the world?

Challenges

It’s clear that energy production has to increase. Less is not an option. And that applies not only to oil, but also to liquefied natural gas (LNG), coal and other forms of energy. With new discoveries happening often, it’s also clear supplies are – and will continue to be – a long way from the global centres of demand. Our teams in shipping transport energy all over the world, and they do it safely, responsibly and as efficiently as possible.
