Development of a fuel-optimal sailing time method for Green Maritime Emission Monitoring
report
Worldwide, the maritime shipping sector accounts for 2.9% of all greenhouse gas emissions (4th IMO GHG study). In the 72th Marine Environment Protection Committee session in April 2018, a first milestone was achieved in the IMO greenhouse gas (GHG) roadmap. The industry agreed to an overarching objective
of reducing GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to the level of 2008. Ship owners and operators have a key role in reaching the IMO goals, since they need to implement the changes that lead to the reduction of GHG. Basically, there are existing KPI’s for monitoring CO2 performance in place (see also §2.1.1), but implementation depends on the availability of reduction measures and their potential in real-world operations. To effectively reduce emissions, ship owners and operators need to be able to relate their actions to the effect on GHG performance. This requires an effective form of data collection, a means to relate changes in the data to their actions. Such data is also required for ship owners to prove
achievements in GHG emissions and operational costs to other stakeholders, such as investors and policy makers.
