DNV GL запустило онлайн приложение SIP для подготовки к вступлению в силу требований по сере

Крупнейшее классификационное общество DNV GL решило разработать и предложить бесплатное интернет приложение «Судовой план выполнения мероприятий» (SIP), которое судовладельцы и операторы судов смогут использовать для подготовки плана действий SIP для конкретного судна и обеспечения актуальности информации о состоянии своего флота, сообщает на своем сайте Дмитрий Чалый.

Данное онлайн приложение не обязательно к применению, но является руководством IMO, которое всем судам рекомендуется готовить и внедрять, чтобы с 1 января 2020 года полностью соответствовать стандартам.

In Depth: Shipping’s Decarbonization Will Need Major R&D Investment

Following a lengthy process, the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) member states finally agreed in April to require international shipping to decarbonize and at least halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

The agreement includes strengthening design requirements for each ship type, a relative reduction of 40 percent in CO2 emissions by 2030, and at least 50 percent reduction by 2050, and subsequently a path toward a complete phase-out.

Although the members agreed on the goals, concerns were raised over the lack of any clear plan of action to deliver the emissions reductions.

Kirsi Tikka, Executive Vice President, Senior Maritime Advisor, at the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), in an interview with World Maritime News said that collaboration by all stakeholders as well as sufficient investment in technology development are needed.

“To meet the targets established in the initial IMO strategy for GHG reduction will require considerable development time and financial investment that may not deliver returns in the short term.”

Since the experiences of early adopters of technology in complying with environmental regulations have not always been positive, the industry “is unlikely to adopt new GHG reduction technologies until there is a full proof of functionality and ideally a cost/benefit analysis.”

Tikka continued that financing the R&D needed to deliver on the schedule established by the IMO strategy “will be a challenge for the industry – something of which the IMO is well aware.”
