71% of New Box Ships Exceed IMO’s 2025 EEDI -Study
A new study has revealed that nearly three-quarters (71 percent) of all new containerships, which emit around a quarter of global ship CO2 emissions, are already in compliance with the post-2025 requirements of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). The study, based on analysis of the IMO’s own data and conducted by Transport & Environment (T&E), a founding member of the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC), also found that the best 10 percent of new containerships are already almost twice as efficient as the requirement for 10 years time.
Videotel Propels Industry's Drive for Efficiency
Ship operators cannot control energy prices, government policies or the global economy, but they can improve the way they manage energy onboard their vessels. Slow steaming, efficient route planning, careful bunkering operations – all combine to reduce both energy cost and consumption. An increasing number of organizations in the shipping industry are committing to ISO 50001, the energy efficiency standard applied to organizations in industries around the world. In recognition of this Videotel is supporting the industry with its new ISO 50001 Energy Management Training Course.
