abstract = {Decarbonizing the global energy system requires significant
expansions of renewable energy technologies. Given that
cost-effective renewable sources are not necessarily
situated in proximity to the largest energy demand centers
globally, the maritime transportation of low-carbon energy
carriers, such as renewable-based hydrogen or ammonia, will
be needed. However, whether existent shipyards possess the
required capacity to provide the necessary global fleet has
not yet been answered. Therefore, this study estimates
global tanker demand based on projections for global
hydrogen demand, while comparing these projections with
historic shipyard production. Our findings reveal a
potential bottleneck until 2033-2039 if relying on liquefied
hydrogen exclusively. This bottleneck could be circumvented
by increasing local hydrogen production, utilizing
pipelines, or liquefied ammonia as an energy carrier for
hydrogen. Furthermore, the regional concentration of
shipyard locations raises concerns about diversification.
Increasing demand for container vessels could substantially
hinder the scale-up of maritime hydrogen transport.},
