Call for Engine Power Limitations As Slow Steaming Achieves 2030 Emission Target!

Global Shipping is making fine progress towards making a carbon-neutral future and with much of its immediate target being met, they are preparing for the long haul with new enhanced targets, reports Climate Change News.

Scaling up Goals

International shipping could scale up goals for decarbonization in the coming years since the sector’s climate target for 2030 was already three-quarters met when it was set two years ago, a study showed.

A study by the International Council on Clean...

Trafigura supports slow steaming regulations

Trafigura Group recently announced its plans against climate change, setting new target to reduce the carbon emissions from its shipping operations. The company showed its support on the idea of imposing slow steaming regulations to cut GHG emissions.

There are actions the shipping industry can take to improve efficiencies: through route optimization and better planning; building new fuel-efficient vessels; and, the chartering of vessels with lower emissions.

Amidst Slow Steaming Row, Supply Chains Bank on Visibility & Agility

According to a Loadstar report, better visibility and more responsive supply chains are the only way for shippers and their forwarders to respond to problems related to slow-steaming and containership schedule unreliability.

Visibility the Key

At last week’s TOC Americas Container Supply Chain event in Cartagena, Bill Rooney, vice president of strategic development at Kuehne + Nagel, told delegates: “Visibility is the solution to slow and unreliable assets.”

He explained that only 75%-80% of...

Operators Opt for Slow Steaming Amidst Anger at IMO’s Bureaucratic Dilemma

The IMO has decided on a goal-setting approach by member states to decarbonise shipping, rather than progress the proposals put forward by some members for a mandatory speed reduction on vessels and this has angered shipping associations across the globe, says an article published in Loadstar.

Bureaucracy Shows Lack of Urgency

The strategy, decided last week in London, not to opt for speed restrictions has angered the members of the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC) who blasted the IMO for its “burea...

New Research Puts the Clock Back on Slow Steaming and Speed Reduction

According to a new research  report commissioned by campaign groups Seas At Risk and Transport and Environment, decreasing ship speeds could improve human health, benefit the environment by cutting carbon emissions, and reduce whale collisions, reports Ship Technology

What is it?

The report, called ‘The multi-issue mitigation potential of reducing ship speeds’, indicated that carbon emissions could be reduced by circa 13% and 24%, if ships reduced their speed by 10% and 20% respectively. The...

Anger at ‘bureaucratic’ IMO’s ‘lack of urgency’ on cleaning up shipping

The IMO has decided on a goal-setting approach by member states to decarbonise shipping, rather than progress the proposals put forward by some members for a mandatory speed reduction on vessels.  
The strategy, decided last week in London, not to opt for speed restrictions has angered the members of the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC) who blasted the IMO for its “bureaucracy” and “lack of urgency”. 
An IMO working group agreed a draft text that will be put forward to the …

Climate change: IAG reviews ‘fuel-tankering’

A new report suggests that slower-steaming is the best way to cut emissions from ships. Cutting ship speeds by 20% would cut sulphur and nitrogen oxides by about 24%, while also reducing  black carbon. But some lines, notably Maersk, are very much opposed to speed limits, and others say it would lead to more ships, and therefore more emissions. The BBC reports.
Perhaps a quicker win in transport would be to end the practice of fuel-tankering by airlines, in …
