Shipping News - The International Maritime Organization (IMO) before working on the global maritime industry and cuts carbon dioxide emissions.
Marine fuels are the cheapest fuel, but also on the extent of potential contamination of the atmosphere of a higher fuel oil. Ships for 2.7 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions of responsibility. And according to a sustained growth trend of the international shipping industry, the International Maritime Organization predicts that by 2050, ship emissions will increase 150-250%. The problem is that for a multinational voyages, over 100 countries have different rules. How can we make both fair and environmentally friendly ship emissions it?
the International Maritime Organization has long been trying to develop to curb emissions from international maritime rules, but progress has been slow. Now they are trying to write the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Recently the organization at the United Nations meeting on the Marine Environment Protection Committee said it would study the feasibility of developing impact assessment programs, such as fuel and emissions trading scheme.
The Committee has drafted a new energy-efficient ship design index program to ensure that the new ship design to achieve environmentally friendly, it also drafted a applies to all transport ship energy efficiency management plan.
In addition, the Committee decided to defer the mandatory fuel efficiency standards to determine the ship, because there are some issues remain unresolved, more work needs to be done, such as the size of the development of vessel size, date and emissions reduction target rate. The Working Group will be in September 2010 to make a report on the relevant feedback.
Some local authorities in the United States, such as the California Air Resources Board, has been trying to take independent action in their jurisdictions limit ranking coastline. Its one of the measures introduced in 2008 required a ship 28 miles away from the coast range of domestic demand for low sulfur fuel to replace the amount of heavy oil products. It is reported that there are around 2000 ship to dock at the port in California.
However, the California Air Resources Board is facing a lawsuit from the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association. Pacific Merchant Shipping Association represents the interests of 60 maritime contractors and terminal operators in the West Coast. The group is more inclined to take voluntary, trying through legal channels to prevent the regulation of emissions from ships, as a ship may sail 1000 miles, passing through multiple jurisdictions, can not simply change its fuel supply or under the jurisdiction to change
Ship Design.
The key to solving the problem focused on one thing: for in the end who is in charge?
"Global problems require global solutions." IMO Secretary-General Maximilian Oswald Evry. 米乔普勒斯 (Efthimios E. Mitropoulos) on a recent conference closing ceremony, said the world should learn from last year's UN climate talks in Copenhagen lessons to avoid making the same mistakes in the end of this year in Cancún.
The main obstacle to the introduction of emission limits seaborne targets in global emission limitation goals are, and how the "principle of equality of the ship", "common but differentiated responsibilities" under the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the International Maritime Organization in principle be reconciled.
There exists a direct confrontation. Framework Convention on climate change specifically developed to address climate change assume greater responsibility, but the maritime sector that, due to the transnational nature of shipping, you need to impose a unified global marine fuel tax to prevent unfair competition. The bunker fuel tax collection tends to reduce fuel consumption, who pay for the loss is a problem.
The EU wants to set goals and targets to reduce emissions from ships, and the United States refused to mention the Copenhagen conference of ships, to avoid the introduction of "common but differentiated responsibilities" principle in the discussion of fuel issues. The EU has said that if the International Maritime Organization and the International climate negotiations are unable to limit emissions from ships, the EU will take autonomous behavior.
