IMO: Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships To Cut Carbon Emissions by Quarter by 2030

摘要

The world's shipping industry could reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by almost a quarter by 2030 compared to 2010 levels as a result of energy efficiency measures introduced this year for large ships, according to an International Maritime Organization study released Nov. 14. The U.N. body adopted two mandatory energy efficiency measures for ships weighing 400 metric tons or more in July (34 INER 716, 7/20/11). The regulations are expected to come into force Jan. 1, 2013.
