This week’s ship.energy podcast features two guests - Toni Stojcevski, General Manager, Project Sales & Development at Wärtsilä, and Tim Scarbrough, Director of Maritime at Ricardo.

In conversation with Mark Williams, Toni and Tim discuss the ‘what, where, and when’ in relation to decarbonisation technology and regulations. The discussion covers engine developments, including for dual-fuelled vessels operating on ammonia or methanol; how marine engine efficiency can support CII compliance, and the future of the internal combustion engine in the shipping sector.

Toni Stojcevski is a professional within marine engineering and business development. He has worked in various positions in Wärtsilä for 22 years and has gained a broad experience in the marine industry, especially within the field of medium speed combustion engines and alternative fuels. 

In 2013 Toni graduated from the Executive MBA on the University of Gothenburg. Between 2014-2016, Toni was responsible for the “Methanol development project” covering new product development, application and market strategy, and the delivery and conversion of the four main engines onboard Stena Germanica, which was the first ship in the world to operate on methanol as a fuel.

Tim Scarbrough has directed many high-profile techno-economic and policy studies for policymakers, such as the European Commission and the International Maritime Organization. He’s also worked with individual ports and shipping industry organisations on their journeys to reduce their environmental impacts. His clients value that his expertise comes from policy insights, strategy delivery, and implementation projects, drawing on cross-sectoral insights and an evidence-driven approach. 

He has expertise in low/zero carbon fuels, their production pathways, energy efficiency / emission abatement techniques, emission inventorying, life cycle assessment and the policies regulating the maritime sector. Above all, he’s passionate about decarbonising the maritime sector.
