But in the longer term, a completely new range of marine fuels developed to decarbonize the global shipping business will pose new challenges in the development of new engine technologies. Many shipping people object to the term 'disruptive change' but, like it or not, new connectivity, digitali-zation and tightening regulations are forcing the pace of unprecedented transformational change across the global shipping sector. Engine makers are amongst those in the front line as the International Maritime Organization's January 2020 sulfur cap looms close, the industry's fuel mix broadens, and beyond that, the IMO's 2050 carbon-reduction ambitions become industry targets over the next three decades.
