EU Agrees on Well-To-Wake GHG Limits To Energy Used on Board Ships from 2025

niche_ports

Classification society DNV on Tuesday (16 May) published a technical and regulatory news titled ‘The EU agrees on well-to-wake GHG limits to energy used on board ships from 2025’. It focuses on the EU’s legislative bodies reaching an agreement on the FuelEU Maritime regulation setting well-to-wake GHG emission intensity requirements on energy used on board ships trading in EU from 2025. From 2030, the regulation also mandates the use of shore power for container and passenger ships...

IMO’s Emission Protocols Not Strict Enough

  • IMO has targeted to reducetotal GHG emissions by 50% and carbon emissions by 70% by 2050.
  • Under IMO protocol new rules cannot enter into force until late 2022 at the earliest.
  • A study shows that methane traps 86 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO2 over a 20- year time period.
  • The use of LNG as a marine fuel led to a GHG reduction of 21% over the entire life cycle.

Ship owners have to contemplate their future plans after an inconclusive meeting last week at the IMO. The measures taken...

ABS Study To Assess Energy Efficiency Design Index, EEDI

According to a MarineLink article, a team led by ABS has been awarded a contract by the European Commission (EC) to explore future directions for the IMO’s Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for ships.

What is it?

The EC, the executive arm of the European Union, awarded the consortium of ABS, Vessel Performance Solutions (VPS) and Arcsilea with funding to assess the EEDI’s technical performance and evaluate new targets before the 76th meeting of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection...
