The Greek container company, Danaos, achieved to reduce its CO2 emissions by 41.5% in 2019, compared to the base year in 2008, meeting IMO 2030 carbon reduction targets 11 years ahead of schedule.
Following the Taiwanese shipping company, Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation which recently reached the IMO GHG targets, Danaos managed to cut its shipping carbon intensity by 41.5%.
In order to reach the GHG targets and meet IMO sulphur cap regulations, Danaos has installed a scrubber project, which covers a number of the company’s vessels.
At the same time, due to advanced solutions such as electronically controlled engines, the company has reduced its carbon emissions through fuel efficiency optimization.
In light of the above the company noted:
The creation of a smart operational platform that analyzes and processes data as a decision-making supporting tool, while producing automatic alerts in the event of deviations from optimal operation has ensured close monitoring and the timely and effective response to any problem.
For the records, IMO GHG targets force shipping to cut their carbon intensity by at least 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050 when compared to 2008.
