UGS Formally Backs Engine Power Cap Proposal To Cut GHG Emissions

  • 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...

ICCT Findings That Created a Stir at IMO

The calls to limit ship’s power have suffered a setback in the tortuous week on shipping’s decarbonisation path at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), reports Ship & Bunker.

Limit ship’s engine power

In another tortuous week on shipping’s decarbonisation path at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) one key takeaway from the intercessional discussions on short-term measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions is that the calls to limit ship’s...
