The Clean North Sea Shipping project (CNSS) has defined four main scenarios that describe possible future ship emissions

A total of 53 ships of the NSC Group received certification The NSC Group has commissioned the voluntary "Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)" certification of its entire fleet from Germanischer Lloyd (GL).GL verifies the globally valid EEDI environmental and efficiency standard for vessels and is planning the certification of the NSC fleet according to the "EEDI Statement of Compliance (SoC)".A total of 53 ships of the NSC Group - including 31 container ships, four tankers, four bulkers and 14 multi-purpose vessels - are to receive an EEDI SoC from GL within the next few months.As a result of continuing overcapacity, rising fuel prices and new environmental regulations, shipping companies not only have to maintain the competitiveness of their existing fleets.They also need to significantly improve their efficiency, in order to be able to hold their own against optimised, newly constructed vessels.Innovative ship design is a key factor for shipping companies when it comes to upgrading their fleet. But they also need proof of the efficiency of these new ship designs from an independent authority.The implementation of the EEDI performance indicator and the voluntary certification of the entire fleet by GL enables the NSC Group to highlight the ultra-modern design of ...

IMO pushes forward with energy-efficiency implementation The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) met for its 65th session from 13 to 17 May 2013, at IMO Headquarters in London.The Committee made significant progress in its work on further developing energy-efficiency regulations; adopted an MEPC Resolution on Promotion of Technical Co-operation and Transfer of Technology relating to the Improvement of Energy Efficiency of Ships; and gave the go-ahead to carry out an update to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions' estimate for international shipping. It also agreed a draft Assembly resolution to address the implementation of the Ballast Water Management convention and approved a number of ballast water treatment systems.Resolution on technical cooperation for energy efficiency measures adoptedThe MEPC adopted an MEPC Resolution on Promotion of Technical Co-operation and Transfer of Technology relating to the Improvement of Energy Efficiency of Ships, which, among other things, requests the Organization, through its various programmes, to provide technical assistance to Member States to enable cooperation in the transfer of energy efficient technologies to developing countries in particular; and further assist in the sourcing of funding for capacity building and support to States, in particular developing States, which have requested technology ...
