11 THE IMO PACKAGE FOR REDUCING CO2 OF
SHIPPING INDUSTRY
The IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee
has already developed a package of measures for
reducing shipping’s CO2 emissions, with an agreed
timetable for adoption. Inter alia, these include:
− A system of energy efficiency design indexing for
new ships (similar in concept to the ratings applied
to cars and electrical appliances);
− A template for a Ship Energy Efficiency
Management Plan (SEEMP) for use by all ships.
The SEEMP allows companies and ships to
monitor and improve performance with regard to
various factors that may contribute to CO2
emissions. These include, inter alia: improved
voyage planning; speed management; weather
routing; optimizing engine power, use of rudders
and propellers; hull maintenance and use of
different fuel types;
− The ingredients for possible economic measures
that could be applied globally to shipping in order
to encourage emission reduction; Governments at
IMO have also agreed key principles for the
development of regulations on CO2 emissions
from ships so that they will:
1. Effectively reduce CO2 emissions;
2. Be binding and include all lag states;
3. Be cost effective;
4. Not distort competition;
5. Be based on sustainable development without
restricting trade and growth;
6. Be goal-based and not prescribe particular
methods;
7. Stimulate technical research and development in
the entire maritime sector;
8. Take into account new technology;
9. Be practical, transparent, free of fraud and easy
to administer
Relevant policies currently under consideration at
the Marine Environment Protection Committee of
IMO include:
− Policies aimed at reducing maritime emissions
irrespective of the ship design, operation or energy
source e.g. market-based instruments such as
emissions trading;
− Policies aimed at improving the operational fuel
efficiency of the leet (e.g. market based
instruments such as the Energy Efficiency
Operational Indicator (EEOI) levy, the Energy
Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) levy/benefit
scheme; command and control instruments such as
the mandatory EEOI limit, mandatory EEOI
reporting, and the mandatory ship efficiency
management plan (SEMP); and voluntary
measures such as voluntary agreements to
improve EEOI and to implement SEMP);
− Policies aimed at improving the design efficiency
of leet (e.g. market based instruments such as the
EEDI levy, the EEDI levy benefit scheme;
command and control instruments such as the
mandatory EEDI limit for new ships; and
voluntary measures, such as voluntary agreement
to improve EEDI and voluntary standards;
− Polices aimed at reducing fuel life cycle carbon
emissions, such as policies that favour the use of
natural gas or biofuels (e.g. market based
instruments such as differentiated levy and
command and control instruments such as fuel
life-cycle carbon emissions standard and a biofuel
standard).[11]
12 CONCLUSION
Because of this quick mechanical turn of events, more
examinations are required on vessel connections in
immense and complex marine environments. By
working on how we might interpret arising needs in
the innovative marine industry, which are somewhat
for environment self-guideline, and mostly connected,
to different frameworks, future mishaps might be
decreased. These incorporate, yet are not restricted to,
the marine climate, route and advances, as well as the
job of global associations that casing, administer and
control the present transportation industry.
Concerning human mistake and mishaps, numerous
partners - the world's transportation partners -
frequently have unique and contending needs among
security and monetary interests.
