Energy efficiency – Including measures to limit

World Maritime Day Parallel Event“Sustainable Development: IMO’s
Contribution beyond Rio+20”Lima, Peru
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%
Shipping contribution

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

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
