Container ship owners could be sued for slow steaming

A video by Maersk Maersk pioneered 'slow steaming' as an industry standard. Before 2009, the industry feared that slower ship speeds would damage the engine. But Maersk has proved that wasn't the case, if you follow the right procedures.When a ship 'slow steams' it reduces the engine load --and thereby the speed of the vessel. The benefits are threefold: lower fuel consumption, less pollution and higher schedule reliability. Slow steaming is mainly used on the long hauls, for example across the Pacific or between Asia and Europe.
