23 Oct ‘Just-In-Time’ Ship Operations Can Slash CO2 Emissions
Reducing the amount of time ships spend waiting outside port and at anchor could significantly reduce ship emissions, according to studies carried out by members of the IMO GloMEEP Global Industry Alliance (GIA).
Ships can spend hours or days waiting at anchor outside ports, but providing ships with regular updates about the availability of berths, especially in the last twelve hours prior to port arrival, can support significant reductions in ship and port emissions, the study recently commissioned by the Port of Rotterdam Authority and research institute TNO says.
