Comparison Of Shipping Emissions And Green Shipping Measures

In the context of COP28, the question of national, economy-wide climate action is again in the spotlight. Yet while shipping is a fundamental part of national economies, most national climate plans given to the UNFCCC still do not include action on each country’s share of shipping emissions. Meanwhile, as the EU’s climate laws have shown, regional and national policy is key to charting a course for sustainable shipping worldwide, reports Transport & Environment.

UCL Study Exposes Financiers’ Views on Shipping’s Zero-Emission Transition

Many shipping financiers hold the view that the transport of fossil fuel cargo (coal, oil, and gas) will be sustained without a significant decline shortly, and they perceive limited risk that the vessels they’ve funded will face stranding.

Decoding Ship Financiers’ Roles

A new research paper published in the Journal of Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions by researchers from the UCL Energy Institute explores the role ship financiers can play in shipping’s transition to zero-emission...

ABS Guides ECO’s Decarbonization Via Sustainability Reporting

ABS teams up with Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) for decarbonization, providing greenhouse gas inventory and sustainability reporting services to the OSV operator based in New Orleans.

Sustainability Reporting

ABS specialists have been working with the ECO team since 2022 providing a gap analysis for the ECO Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Framework.

This led to a full sustainability reporting project in 2023, where ABS supplied...

CCS Technology As A Means Of Reducing CO2 Emissions

Wide-scale availability, supply and infrastructure supporting low- and zero-carbon e-fuels meant to advance the decarbonisation of shipping are years away. To bridge this gap, some see onboard carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as a means of reducing CO2 emissions from ships burning conventional fossil fuels.

Global climate goals

But Jan Hagen Andersen, DNV business development director for the Americas, sees CCS playing an even more significant role in meeting overall global climate...

Emissions on the Far-East to US-east coast trades have fallen 23.3% since Q1 18, said Xeneta despite the onset of “over-tonnaging” and a major slippage in fill factor, reports maritime gateway.

Short-term comparisons, meanwhile, reveal more drastic changes since the onset of the unique market dynamics in 2022, which skewed results in 2021-22.

“Larger ships are more efficient in terms of CO2 emissions per teu,” noted Xeneta analyst Emily Stausbøll, adding that “while causing a capacity...
