Only about one-third of shipping companies were aiming for energy savings of 5% or more, suggests DNV GL's latest study into energy management. It is based on the input of 80 shipping companies and includes ship managers, owners and operators in 24 countries. Although energy saving enjoys a high priority within most of the companies questioned (three-quarters of participants listed fuel savings as a topic of high importance), in many cases shipping companies had not formulated ambitious savings targets. While the share of companies with no defined target decreased to 28% (from 44% in 2013), only a minority aspired to reaching even half the level of performance improvement attained by the industry's top performers.
