Two of the four big issues facing shipping,
as identified by the International Chamber of Shipping in
their Annual Review 2008, are reducing shipping’s
CO2 emissions and the IMO’s Review of Marpol Annex
VI.
The growth
in world trade and shipping numbers has increased the pressure
for the industry to take action. Reducing CO2 emissions
from shipping is vital for the environment, for shipping’s
image, and as the price of oil continues to rise - to reduce
costs. The debate on reducing CO2 emissions is being led
by the MMO who aim to develop proposals for maritime transport
by early 2009. Many options are being examined including
reduced vessel speeds, the use of alternative fuels and
energy sources and new designs.
The IMO’s review of Marpol
Annex VI has reached its final stage with agreement reached
on a package of measures which will reduce air pollution
by requiring very low sulphur emissions in designated emission
control areas.
This conference examines the
proposals for reducing CO2 emissions, looking at reducing
air pollution at sea and in ports and the impact of the
Marpol Annex Review; the afternoon considers the latest
techniques and technologies for reducing emissions and concludes
with a debate on future policy.
Key issues to be discussed:
The European Commission
Blue Paper on Maritime policy and proposals for reducing
shipping emissions
The impact emission
control measures could have on the shipping industry
Conclusions from the
review of Marpol Annex VI
Achieving emissions
reductions at ports through process change
Reducing port emissions:
alternative solutions to cold ironing
Reducing CO2 emissions:
The Air Cavity System
The importance of educating
seafarers on environmental protection
Is the industry doing
enough to tackle air pollution and CO2 emissions?
