Details: 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.
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. |
