The platform which optimises ships\u2019 arrival times at their destination by eliminating the practice of \u201cSail Fast, then Wait\u201d, can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cSupporting the Blue Visby Consortium by participating in this pilot program for visiting ships to the Port of Newcastle reinforces our commitment to working collaboratively with the maritime and shipping sector on a global solution to reduce carbon emissions,\u201d said Philip Holliday, CEO, Port Authority of NSW.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we are very proud of the efficiency benefits of our own Port Management System by joining this pilot program, we will be helping the development of a system that could see the reduction of shipping emissions along the entirety of a ship\u2019s voyage, which can be thousands of nautical miles.<\/p>\n
Just in time arrivals<\/strong><\/p>\n Blue Visby comprises of various components, including advanced digital technology and a new algorithm to arrival times for groups of vessels travelling to the same port.<\/p>\n This enables vessels to reduce their speed and emissions without losing their scheduled arrival time order.<\/p>\n Essentially, this is achieved by analysing several factors, including the performance of each ship together with conditions such as weather and congestion at the destination. It also relies on stakeholders working together through the sharing of information.<\/p>\n The port authority is already embedding sustainability measures across its operations and has set the ambitious target to achieve 75% reduction in its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and be Net Zero by 2040.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Blue Visby Consortium continues to grow and now comprises over 30 organisations worldwide. It\u2019s led by Helsinki based Napa Oy and London based Stephenson Harwood LLP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Australia\u2019s Port Authority of New South Wales has joined the Blue Visby Consortium, which aims to reduce international shipping carbon emissions by 15%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,46],"tags":[111,794,1349,1348,9,1097],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-australasia-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-australasia","tag-blue-visby","tag-port-authority-of-new-south-wales","tag-port-authority-of-nsw","tag-ports","tag-shipping-emissions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3937"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3937\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3939,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3937\/revisions\/3939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3937"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
