Introduction

• Shipping: most environmentally sound cargo transport mode and modest contributor to CO2 emissions

• Sea transport is the fundament of international commerce and predicted to continue to grow apace with world trade

• MARPOL Annex VI amendments includes mandatory energy efficiency regulation:– first ever global legally binding CO2 reduction

regime for an international industry sector or transport mode

International shipping estimated to have emitted around 2.7% of CO2

global emissions in 2007

Technical and operational measures increase efficiency and reduce emissions by 25% to 75%

Aviation – Shipping

AirbusAirbus“Aviation is a fast and safe mode of transport, as well as one that is highly eco-efficient, with excellent environmental performance when considering the value it provides”

Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)

EEDI

• CO2 reduction level for the first phase

– 10% CO2 reduction level

– tightened every five years

• Regulation 21.6 - revision clause:– beginning of Phase 1 (1 Jan ‘15 – 31 Dec ‘19) – midpoint of Phase 2 (1 Jan ‘20 – 31 Dec ‘24) – amend if necessary:

• time periods

• EEDI reference line parameters for the relevant ship type

• reduction rates set out within the regulation

EEDI - Implementation

• Guidelines:– method of calculation of the attained EEDI– survey and certification of the EEDI– calculation of reference lines use with the EEDI– treatment of innovative energy efficiency technologies– determining minimum propulsion power to maintain

manoeuvrability• Unified interpretations:

– definition of new ship– major conversion

• IMO model course on energy efficiency operation of ships

Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)

Operational measure for new and existing ships

Improve efficiency in a cost-effective manner

Best operational practices for fuel efficient ship operations

Resolution on the promotion of technical cooperation and technology transfer

Ad Hoc Expert Group

Assess potential implications and impacts of the implementation – means to identify technology transfer and financial needs

Identify and create an inventory of energy efficiency technologies – identify barriers and recommend model agreements

Conclusions

• Marine environment subject to variety of threats• Keep pace with ever-changing commercial environment• Non-compliance is not an option• Cooperation among stakeholders in development and

implementation of the regulatory process• Appropriate regulatory scheme to support the

sustainability of shipping
