The role of ports in reducing emissions as a key part of decarbonising the maritime industry is becoming increasingly clear as doubt is cast on the effectiveness of other measures, such as slow-steaming.<\/p>\n
Recent studies by shipbrokers Simpson Spence Young and maritime consultancy Clarksons have suggested that the benefits of slow-steaming may have been overestimated as a result of unrealistic assumptions around fuel consumption and ship speed.<\/p>\n
Instead, the role of ports in hitting both their own and shipping\u2019s emission reduction targets is beginning to be recognised.<\/p>\n
A key part of this is the need for quality data to provide baseline levels and inform effective measures for emissions reduction.<\/p>\n
To overcome this challenge, the Port of Rotterdam has employed PortXchange Synchronizer developed by PortXchange, a spinoff of the Port of Rotterdam, a digital solution which allows communication between all stakeholders in a port call, and facilitates just-in-time arrivals.<\/p>\n
Data from the port has shown a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 15% decrease in NOx from shipping emissions.<\/p>\n
The port has also launched EmissionInsider, again developed by PortXchange, to monitor and analyse transport-related emissions. This has given the port greater visibility of emissions, allowing it to standardise reporting and identify areas with the best potential for decarbonisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
