  1. Eco-efficient innovations – to meet the challenges in quality shipping Presentation by Magnus Sundström, Swedish Maritime Administration Brussels, 18 March 2010

  2. Some challenges to address • More cargo and more vessels • Environmental impact from maritime transport should be reduced • Competiveness of maritime transport should be ensured • Administrative procedures should be simplified • Maritime traffic should be safe and efficient • Fairways should be safe and of right dimension • Winter navigation should be ensured

  3. A few examples of eco-efficient innovations... • Improved enviromental performance • Feasibility study and pilot on LNG • Investment support programme for green ship technology • Eco-efficient e-Navigation • Green pilots concept • Reduced administrative burden • Harmonisation and standardisation of national single windows

  4. Feasibility study on LNG logistics-for reduced emissions from maritime transport • LNG is considered to be an interesting alternative to other bunker fuelswhen IMO Annex VI rules are cominginto force • LNG lowers the emissions of SOx, NOx and PM and CO2 • LNG requires new infrastructure in ports and onboardvessels. • Design and technical solutions are to be developed • Clean Baltic Sea Shipping project is under preparation and willaddressissues on design for ports and vessels as well as the supply system of LNG in order to have a wellfunctioning LNG logistics for the maritime sector

  5. Investment support programme for green shipping-for reduced emissions from maritime transport • Economic incentives for shipping companies to invest in green technologies beyond the requirements of regulations is called for • Focus should be on regular traffic with high frequency • A joint investment support programme is proposed to be set up jointly by MS and to which shipping can apply for co-financing for investments in green technologies • Details and rules are to be elaborated • Experiences from Sweden shows positive results

  6. Green pilots- environmental new routening Vessels will not follow rigid separation zones anymore they will go the environmental intelligent way!! Tailor-made Coastal Passage Plans (CPP) will: • Save fuel • Reduce emissions • Reduce costs • Provide cargo ”just in time” • Create safe and secure shipping • Allow controlling authorities to focus on ”risk vessels”

  7. Green pilots - next generation concept ”Everybody knows where everybody´s going” • Ships entering e-Nav area transmits its preliminary CPP to a MOS centre • MOS centre processes relevant data (ships data, manoueverability, weather forecast, ice, current, traffic situation on route, planned ETA, available berth, nav. Warnings and NtM, tide, water level etc) • MOS centre transmit prepared CPP back to the ship • Master confirms and follows the CPP • All ships will be monitored by the MOS centre Note: Colreg always in force!!!!!!

  8. Green pilots– Operational aspects • Officer on watch can see any ships CPP on its own navigation screen • Ships deviating from its CPP will be flagged on all monitors in 30 M radius, including MOS monitors • Ships can ”ask” any other ship about its intention by mouse click on the navigation screen • Officer on watch can confirm the compliance of CPP or inform new intentions • MOS monitors all ”conversation” between ships • The use of VHF will be minimized

  9. Reduced administrative burden for shipping- Harmonizing of National Single Windows Port Customs SafeSeaNet Bunker Immigration Pilot Crew NSW Environment Pax SSW Computer & Nav-Screen Cargo VTS Hazmat e-Nav MOS Waste SRS … within the Ship´se-Navigationenvironment FAL METOC

  10. Conclusion • Innovations are required to address the challenges of maritime transport • The Motorways of the Sea concept supports eco-efficient co-modality and can contribute with an institutional framework and co-financing • Close cooperation between business, academy and administrations is the key for success Now is time to act and we need to act together!
