According to a new study submitted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the release of gas from container ships, bulk carriers and tankers can be significantly reduced by reducing the speed.
The total savings due to the reduction in the speed of ships can reach as much as 12% of the total fuel consumption by 2030, say the results of the study.
Decrease in working speed, according to the authors of the project, will provide an increase in jobs and growth in shipbuilding in general. The study shows that the production of new vessels can grow up to 30% in order to preserve transport opportunities for world trade in such a situation.
The study also emphasizes the fact that additional costs with decreasing speed of the ship await goods with special conditions of transportation, for example, cake or beef from Latin America. But maintaining the optimal storage temperature will not increase the overall budget of expenditure due to low fuel consumption, the researchers are sure.
Bill Hemmings of T & amp; E said: "Shipping is the only international sector that has yet to take global measures to reduce emissions. It is expected that negotiations with IMO will be complex, as the organization "Seas At Risk"; and the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC), directly in charge of this study, are authorities in ensuring environmentally friendly shipping. That is why you should take the results seriously. The maritime industry has long shown that movement on slow pairs works as a means of saving, and now as a means of decarbonization & raquo;.
IMO representatives will highlight the results of the experiment at the next conference on developing a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 2018 in London. In the organization declare that the regulation of the speed of the ship & ndash; short-term task that can be implemented immediately.
