  12. Council Agenda – 13 May 2009, Tokyo • Corporate Affairs • Piracy status report • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Report items - Chemical items - Load Line Zones – Off South Africa - Criminalisation of Seafarers - update - Paris MoU – New Inspection Regime - Human Element – Roll out of TOTS - EU : MSP III / Mutual Recognition, Elections - US : General Permit /TWIC / Air Emissions

  13. New Inspection Regime – Paris MoU Better targeting !!! “ Every ship eligible for a periodic inspection as follows: • High Risk Ship (HRS) every 5-6 months • Standard Risk Ship (SRS) every 10-12 months • Low Risk Ship (LRS) every 24-36 months ”

  17. [ Initiatives to Reduce ]Greenhouse Gas Emissions Shipping has a head start as the most energy efficient means of transport

  18.

  19. TANKER SHIPPING A GOOD NEWS STORY Shipping’s GREEN Credentials • This car, weighing one tonne, uses 1 litre of fuel to move 20 kms • This oil tanker uses 1 litre of fuel to move one tonne of cargo 2,500 kms • more than twice as far as 20 years ago

  20. TANKER SHIPPING A GOOD NEWS STORY Shipping’s GREEN Credentials • One US gallon of fuel moves one ton of freight 423 miles in this railcar • One US gallon of fuel moves one ton of cargo more than 6,500 miles in this tanker

  21. Reductions in GHG (CO2) EmissionsDRIVERS FOR CHANGE • Driven hardest by a limited number of governments • Supported mostly by EU governments, plus Japan, Australia, Canada and a few others • Until recently only limited support in US (mostly environmental interests) • Relatively little enthusiasm in much of the developing world, but now changing ? • Environmental Lobby growing • And becoming more coordinated • Maritime industries showing considerable support • Proactive involvement • Although “hesitant” on market based instruments • Economic incentives strong • Fuel savings translate into potentially significant cost savings; plus incentives for innovation & new technologies

  22. One particular challenge for the shipping industry- i.e. seaborne trade will continue to grow strongly Trends – Population, Energy Use, Seaborne trade & CO2 emissions Index There has been strong growth in shipping Source: Fearnleys/INTERTANKO

  23. Kyoto Protocol • Established under UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and adopted in 1997 • Ratified by 181 countries – not the USA • Categorises Annex 1 (Developed) Countries and Non-Annex 1 (Developing) Countries • Annex 1 are committed to make GHG reductions with set targets, but also flexible mechanisms • Runs through to 2012, with Conference of Parties (COP15) to meet in Copenhagen in Dec 2009 to develop successor • Kyoto recognises “common but differentiated responsibilities”, i.e. developed countries produce more GHGs and should be “responsible” for reductions • Kyoto looks to IMO to address Shipping and ICAO to address Aviation, and as such these emissions are currently excluded from Kyoto targets

  24. Initiatives underway at the IMO 1998: IMO initiated work on Green House Gas emissions 2003: IMO Assembly adopted Resolution A.963(23): Policies and Practices Related to the Reduction of GHG from Ships Today: Work continues through the MEPC This year: we can expect MEPC 59 to adopt - Mandatory Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships Ship Energy Management Plan – existing ships: - Best practices to save energy used by the ship - Use of voluntary Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator In December: the outcome(s) of MEPC 59 will be presented to UNFCCC COP15 meeting in Copenhagen

  25. Ship Performance Index:CO2 / work done e.g. tonnes of CO2 produced per tonne mile of cargo Energy efficiency design index mandatory for new -ships incentivises designers and builders. At the next stage: The ship’s design index should be less than a maximum limit to be set by regulations. The maximum value will then be lowered over time. Voluntary energy efficiency operational indicator - measures efficiency of ship in service. A management tool for owners and charterers to measure energy efficiency on a voyage. Incentivises the owner to keep hull and machinery “clean” and charterer to use the ship efficiently – capacity, routing and speed. Initiatives underway at the IMO

  26. SEMP: Examples of Best Practicesfor tanker emissions & energy efficiency • Programme for Measuring and Monitoring Ship Efficiency • Voyage Optimization Programme • Speed selection optimization • Optimised route planning • Trim Optimization • Propulsion Resistance Management Programme • Hull Resistance • Propeller Resistance • Machinery Optimisation Programme • Main Engine monitoring and optimisation • Optimisation of lubrication as well as other machinery and equipment • Cargo Handling Optimization • Cargo vapours control procedure on all crude tankers (80-90% reduction of cargo vapours) • Cargo temperature control optimization • Energy Conservation Awareness Plan • On board and on shore training and familiarisation of company’s efficiency programme • Accommodation-specific energy conservation programme

  27. IMO is also reviewing possible economic measures (instruments) to reduce CO2 emissions • Emissions Trading Scheme • Bunker Levy • GHG Compensation Scheme • Hybrids of above • Other, e.g. differentiated charges Industry has established Guiding principles and believe any measure should: • Be effective in reducing global GHG emissions • Be binding on and applicable to all ships • Be cost effective • Not distort competition • Support sustainable environmental development without penalising trade growth • Promote technical innovation and leading technologies • Be practical, transparent, fraud-free, easy to administer

  28. Market Based instruments Key issues: • Global versus regional ? • Who administers ? • Still needed – if other industry initiatives in place ? ETS • Sets Cap – reduces over time • Open versus Closed system ? • Value of carbon – different schemes Levy • Does not set cap • A tax on fuel (used) GHG Compensation scheme • Does not set cap • A tax for a good cause – i.e. a charity !

  29. Initiatives already under way- parallel voluntary measures For most ship types, some form of : • Speed optimisation • Voyage optimisation • Capacity optimisation isalready in hand. • For Tankers: • Liaison is encouraged between owners and charterers to optimise vessel speed and voyage schedules • http://www.ocimf.com/view_document.cfm?id=1147

  30. Other initiatives under discussion Pending the setting of mandatory upper limits for the Energy Efficiency Design Index of new ships, there exists the potential for: • The Establishment of a Reference Value for a New Ship (i.e. a Target) • Development of a Rating System relative to the Reference Value Similar to the performance rating of white goods

  31. Other initiatives already under way- parallel voluntary measures Ports / terminals • Ports developing Environmental Ship Index (for pollutants and GHGs) • Incentives to improve port efficiency • Reward environmentally friendly ships with lower port dues 2008 Representative Data – Product Carrier Pool 1-2 % Idle 19% Ballast 40% Laden 40% In Port
