the ICS emphasizes that norms IMO for the cut of the emissions of co2 of the shipping are already producing important results



The industry of the shipping is making own part in order to reduce the emissions of co2 as the field is completing exceptional progresses in order to reduce own carbon dioxide emissions. It has emphasized today the shipowning association international International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) in sight of the conference on the climatic changes of the United Nations that will hold to Paris from on 30 November to 11 next Decembers.

The association, that it represents beyond 80% of world-wide the commercial fleet in terms of tonnage, has evidenced that the section of the shipping has already achieved the objective to realize a neutral increase in terms of reduced them emissions of co2 being had of beyond 10% from the 2007 although increase of the realized traffics by sea happened during the last few years.

In particular, it has remembered the ICS, currently the produced emissions of co2 from international the marine transport represent only 2.2% of the total of the carbon dioxide emissions world-wise regarding 2.8% in 2007. "Draft - it has specified the general secretary of the International Chamber of Shipping, Peter Hinchliffe - of a real decrease realized through a greater efficiency in the consumption of the fuel, without need of complex virtual measures as the compensations of the carbon dioxide emissions".

"Through larger, motor ships better and an adapted management of the speed of navigation - it has continued Hinchliffe - the field confides to achieve a reduction of 50% of the carbon dioxide emissions within 2050, when the entire world-wide fleet is composed from ships with an exceptionally efficient fuel consumption, of which much through I use it of clean fuels as the which liquified natural gas".

Specifying that, in sight of the Conference of Paris, the field of the shipping recognizes that the governments more expect in matter than reduction of the emissions, the Maritime ICS the Internazional Organization (IMO has remembered moreover that), the organism of the United Nations that regulated the activities of marine transport, has already fixed a binding objective for which all the ships constructed beginning from the 2025 will have to be of more efficient 30% as to emissions of co2 regarding the constructed ships in the 2000s. This, based on the normative new effectiveness all over the world in 2013 - it has specified the association - is worth for beyond 95% of world-wide the commercial fleet.

"The entire world-wide fleet - it has found Hinchliffe - is of 20% about more efficient regarding 2005. With the support of the field of the marine transports, the IMO already has reached a great result and is - it has observed - the only forum that can achieve ulterior meaningful reductions of co2 from international the marine transport".
