The initiative, which is facilitated by non profit organisation Forum for the Future, says its vision for 2040 is that the shipping industry will be powered by a diverse mix of energy sources, using resources more efficiently and responsibly and operating within significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n
But, the SSI says that there are several issues which are delaying the fundamental move forward.<\/p>\n
The IMO estimates that lower energy approaches could reduce shipping CO2 emissions by 25% to 75% and many of these approaches are already cost effective but not in mainstream use. The industry is facing a lack of independently verified data about new technologies and techniques, a lack of clarity about the capital costs required, a lack of integration for operational efficiency and split incentives in the industry.<\/p>\n
The SSI has also implemented a finance workstream, a materials management workstream and a credible benchmarking workstream.<\/p>\n
At an industry conference in Singapore in September, the SSI will launch its practical outputs of these workstreams, report on progress of its 2040 vision and announce future plans for 2013 to 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) has updated its energy technology workstream activity to focus on three main areas: voyage optimisation, wind assistance and air lubrication, which it hopes will encourage wider adoption across the shipping industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2520,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects-initiatives-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2519"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2521,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2519\/revisions\/2521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2519"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
