EIB, ABN to promote greener shipping in EU

The European Investment Bank and Dutch bank ABN Amro will sign an agreement to support investments for greening the European shipping fleet. The framework guarantee agreement will ensure that promoters of sustainable projects in the maritime transport sector can benefit from favourable financial terms, as a result of the EIB’s AAA rating. EIB informs that the facility is open for both retrofitting of existing shipping, as well as for projects that envisage the construction of new vessels with a green innovation aspect. It also applies to both inland shipping and seagoing operators. EIB vice-president, Pim van Ballekom, said the Investment Plan for Europe enabled the creation of a new instrument that helps shipping companies to achieve compliance with the European sustainability standards. EU Commissioner for Transport, Violeta Bulc, said: “Financing the transition to more sustainable transport systems and networks requires a commitment to invest. Today’s agreement dem

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

IBM and Danish transport company Maersk said they were working together to digitize, manage, and track shipping transactions using blockchain technology. The technology, which powers the digital currency bitcoin, enables data sharing across a network of individual computers. It has gained worldwide popularity due to its usefulness in recording and keeping track of assets or transactions across all industries. The blockchain solution being built by the two companies is expected to be made available to the ocean shipping industry later this year, according to a joint statement from International Business Machines Corp and the container unit of A.P. Moller-Maersk. It would help manage and track the paper trail of tens of millions of shipping containers globally by digitizing the supply chain process from end to end. This will enhance transparency and make the sharing of information among trading partners more secure. When adopted at scale, the solution based on th
The European Commission has just published its online Frequently Asked Questions on the implementation of the MRV shipping regulation. The Commission’s FAQ provides very useful information and answers to a number of highly relevant questions concerning the regulation. These Frequently Asked Questions aim to assist MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification) companies, verifiers and other stakeholders to implement the European Union MRV shipping legislation. It requires ships carrying out maritime transport activities to or from EEA ports to monitor and report information including verified data on their CO2 emissions from 1st of January 2018. The legal framework for these obligations is established under Regulation (EU) 2015/757 on monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, (the MRV Shipping Regulation) which has been amended by Delegated Regulation 2016/2072 and it is to be read in conjunction with Delegated Regula

Shipping in the Digital Era. In search of the Golden Equilibrium. by Konstantinos Lourandos Energy Efficiency Superintendent Shipping industry is a conservative industry, sometimes too conservative. We have built our “comfort zones” based on the conservative approach of performing tasks for many years in a undoubtedly “safe”, however not always “efficient” way. Safety of Navigation was the main, if not the only concern. The introduction of SEEMP back in 2013, and the unfortunate resonance of the global financial recession and the high prices of HFO, gave birth to the notion of “ Efficiency” in shipping. We have to admit that the environmental implications of shipping were never the driving force for reducing the fuel consumption. In this respect, we started evaluating hull designs, investing in new energy saving technologies to improve the propulsion efficiency, new antifouling coatings to reduce hull resistance and so on, and “surprisingly” we found ou
