ECAs – Challenges and possibilities for Short Sea Shipping • Executive Vice President Jan Fritz HansenDanish Shipowners’ Association
Concrete actions • Partnership for Cleaner Shipping • DSA and Environmental Protection Agency • Ship emissions and air pollution in Denmark – 2009 (National Environmental Research Institute) • Natural gas as fuel for Danish shipping – 2010 (Litehauz) • Development and testing of scrubbers • Network Partner of Green Ship of the Future • Activities: research, development, demonstration, innovation, education, training and dissemination of knowledge • Purpose: reduction of CO2 by 30 %, SOX by 90 %, NOX by 90 % and particulate emissions from both existing ships and newbuildings
Suggestions by the Industry Group • 2013 - Feasibility study (including both price and availability perspective) • 2015 - 0.5 % sulphur content • 2018 - Impact assessment of ECAs to be included in the global review
Zero sum solution • Study by the National Environmental Institute • Ship emissions and air pollution in Denmark • Two scenarios: • 0,5 % sulphur in 2015 and 0,1 % in 2020 • 0,5 % sulphur in 2012 and 0,1 % in 2018 • What will be the consequences and can we reach the same outcome in the long run?
Natural gas as solution • LNG and CNG • SOX (sulphur oxide): 100 % • NOX (nitrogen oxide): 35 % • CO2: 25 %
EU programmes: TEN-T and Marco Polo • TEN-T/Motorways of the Sea: • improve existing maritime links or to establish new viable, regular and frequent maritime links for the transport of goods between Member States in order to reduce road congestion • Marco Polo: • Shifting freight from road to short sea shipping
