In center IMO the possibility is examined to introduce an approach based on objectives required in order to reduce the emissions of the ships
Agreed the necessity to develop in parallel you approach is technicians who operating
November 15, 2019
To conclusion of the sixth series of reunions of the intersettoriale working group of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on the reduction of the gas emissions to greenhouse effect of the ships, than they have held this week to London, is agreed a series of measures possible in order to diminish ulteriorly these emissions convene, in particular, than an approach based on objectives required to reach it is relatively to the possible technical measures to adopt is relatively to the possible operating measures would guarantee the flexibility and the incentives necessary in order to introduce innovations in this field, as an approach based on the objectives would consist in fixing the objective to reach leaving space to a range wide of methods or innovative solutions useful to reach the result.
Moreover the group of the IMO has convene that the technical and operating approaches would have to be developed in parallel graces to an introduced informal coordination before the next reunion of the intersettoriale working group who is previewed by the 23 on March 27, 2020, shortly before the next reunion of Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the IMO, that is the decisional organ, in program from on 30 March on April 3, 2020.
Between the which examined technical approaches from the working group, they are discussed proposed in order to introduce a Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) with reference to which to demand to the ships to satisfy established requirement of energy efficiency after the effectiveness of the proposed measure. Other technical proposals regard the imposition of an obligatory limit of the power of the ships.
As for the operating approaches, the focalization on the improvement of the plan of management of energy efficiency of the ships is previewed as demanded from the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), and this includes proposed for the introduction of objectives required for the reduction of the intensity of carbon. Between the proposals examined, also the introduction of measures in order to optimize the speed of navigation let alone measures in order to limit the speed of the ships.
