![]() “Thereafter, new decarbonisation regulation kicks in.” Decarbonisation “Congestion will resolve over time, but we’re not there yet,” said Baack. Panellists differed on the impact of pending legislation such as the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) regulation, which is set to be introduced on 1 January 2023. Some suggest the impact will be greater once the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) kicks in and older ships have to exit the market.īut studies by German tonnage provider Atlantic Lloyd had suggested that engine power limitations would not make much difference to how vessels already perform, said managing director Ulrich Paulsdorff.Ĭlemens Toepfer (left) of Toepfer Transport and Katerina Bodouroglou of Stem Shipping at the TradeWinds Shipowners Forum at SMM in Hamburg. Significant improvement in performance would not arise if the economic and ecological interests of shipowners were not “aligned”, he added. “What we have seen so far is when the economic incentive is higher than the ecological incentive, then C0 2/climate change will be secondary,” he said.īaack argued that the pending carbon legislation was expected to result in slower speed for smaller ships. The impact of decarbonisation measures would be felt most on the intra-regional trades, such as in the Americas where vessels have a high-reefer capacity and operate at high speed, he said. Liner operators were likely to lead the innovation and had built up the financial resources, said financial experts.
