The European Commission’s report on the EU Emissions Trading System for shipping found no evidence of major market changes or circumvention. The inclusion of maritime transport in the ETS did not lead to significant shifts in shipping activities. Assessing small ships for monitoring GHG emissions showed a less favorable balance between costs and emission savings.
Germany’s Schulte Group has launched Ocean Opt to provide emissions management solutions for the maritime industry. With regulations like the IMO’s CII and EEXI coming into play, the industry faces financial implications. Ocean Opt offers services for fleet optimization, emission trading, and regulatory compliance, aiming to empower clients to navigate decarbonization effectively. This move aligns with Schulte Group’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
The EU Emissions Trading System now includes maritime transport emissions to drive sustainability. Accurate fuel consumption monitoring is crucial for cost savings and emission reduction. Aquametro’s advanced onboard monitoring systems like flowmeters and FPS can track fuel consumption, identify inefficiencies, and optimize performance for a greener maritime sector.
