THE TRANSATLANTIC LOW-CARBON TRANSPORTDialogue Series21st JUNE 2011 Alfons Guinier - Secretary General, European Community Shipowners Association
ESTABLISHED IN 1965 - BRUSSELS ECSA DAILY CONTACTS WITH EU INSTITUTIONS: • COMMISSION • MEMBER STATES (COUNCIL) • EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT • ECOSOC • COMMITTEE OF REGIONS
ECSA European Shipping (EEA) • TOP TRANSPORT PROVIDER FOR EUROPEAN AND GLOBAL TRADE • KEY PLAYER IN CROSS TRADES BETWEEN DIFFERENT CONTINENTS • EEA CONTROLLED FLEET 41% OF WORLD FLEET
Climate change – co2 • SHIPPING BETTER PERFORMER: 2 TO 4% OF GLOBAL CO2 • TRANSPORT SHIPPING : 10% OF GLOBAL CO2 • UP TO 90 % GLOBAL TRADE BY SEA • UP TO 40% INTRA EU TRADE BY SEA • SHIPPING RATHER SOLUTION INSTEAD OF PROBLEM
Air(Boeing 747-400) Truck (Global average) Rail Diesel Rail Electric(Global average) Ocean(Avg. ML vessels) CO2 (g/ton km) Shipping is carbon efficient Source: Based on data from the Network for Transport and Environment, Sweden
AIR EMISSIONSNo complacency SO2 CO2 VOC PM10 OPD NOx
CLIMATE CHANGE CO2 • REDUCTION OF CO2 IN PRACTICE PRIORITY • IMO CO2 INDEXING: • ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX (EEDI) • ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPERATIONAL INDICATOR (EEOI) • SHIP EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN (SEMP) • MARKET BASED MEASURES (ETS/LEVY)
CLIMATE CHANGE CO2 • PRIORITY REDUCE CO2 /ENERGY CONSUMPTION. • MEASURES ALREADY TAKEN +EEDI + OPERATIONAL MEASURES 20% REDUCTION CO2 BY 2020 • GLOBAL APPROACH VIA IMO SINE QUA NON • ANY REGIME TO BE APPLIED TO ALL FLAGS GLOBALLY
Example EMMA Maersk • Co2 :gt/km – EMMA MAERSK 7.48 • Co2 : rail-diesel 17 - heavy truck 50. • EMMA MAERSK Distance travelled: 1 ton cargo using 1 kwh 71 km • Rail-diesel: 16km • Heavy truck 5 km
MARKET BASED MEASURES –MBMs PREFERENCE FOR LEVY/COMPENSATION FUND IMO 9 PRINCIPLES • Effectively reduce C02 emissions, • Be binding and include all flag States, • Be cost effective, • Not distort competition, • Be based on sustainable development without restricting trade or growth, 1/1
Be goal based and not prescribe particular methods, • Stimulate technical research and development in the entire maritime sector, • Take into account new technology, • Be practical, transparent, free of fraud and easy to administer. 1/2
REGIONAL MEASURES UNWORKABLE: • MAJORITY OF GHG IN SHIPPING OUTSIDE EU JURISDICTION • ROUTES OF SHIPPING • BERTHING OUTSIDE EU JURISDICTION AND FEEDER • PROBLEMS WITH UNCLOS – LAW OF THE SEA (JRC Report) MEASURES THROUGH IMO ESSENTIAL ACCENT ON REDUCING ENERGY COMSUMPTION
