UGS Formally Backs Engine Power Cap Proposal To Cut GHG Emissions

Capt. John
  • Greek shipowners back mandatory engine power limits to reduce carbon emission.
  • The proposal is to cap engine power, depending on ships’ individual energy efficiency.
  • Impose stricter limits on older, less-energy efficient ships and caps would be set at lower levels on younger, more energy-efficient ships.
  • Bulk carriers and tankers reduce their main engine power by 50% and container ships by 66%. 
  • Shipowners’ commitment alone to a ship’s operational efficiency is not enough to effect a change in...
