BIMCO joins Blue Visby Consortium

BIMCO is now part of the Blue Visby Consortium to support research into practical solutions that are expected to help reduce the shipping industry’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Blue Visby aims to reduce GHG emissions from ships by approximately 15% through a multilateral platform called the Blue Visby Solution, which optimises ship arrival times at their destinations by eliminating the practice of “Sail Fast then Wait”.

The solution applies an algorithm to the arrival times of groups of ships...

Tackling the problem of “sail fast, then wait”

Ever since the age of sail, cargo ships have followed the same operational practice: “sail fast, then wait” (SFTW). Ships sail to their destination at their service speed, without regard for the local conditions, and then wait at the anchorage until a berth becomes available.That didn’t have much of an environmental impact back in the days of sale, but now eliminating the practice could reduce shipping emissions by around 15%

Helsinki, Finland, headquartered maritime software specialist NAPA has...
