Houlder Webinar: Escaping the Decarbonisation Maze
Making investments that deliver ROI, environmental compliance, and future-proofed fleet
Date: Wednesday 28th April 2021
Time: 1:00pm BST / 2:00pm CET / 7:00am CST
Shipowners and operators must manage the energy transition but find themselves in a labyrinth. They can’t turn back and the path to a zero carbon future is unclear – there is a multitude of options and a myriad of decarbonisation drivers to address. How do you escape the maze?
What are the right efficiency measures for each vessel? Which carbon reduction drivers are the most important, or will be the most impactful?
Along with regulation from the IMO – including EEXI and CII – other drivers such as the potential Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in Europe as part of the EU Green Deal are worthy of consideration. For other audiences initiatives such as the RightShip A-G rating, Poseidon Principles, and the Sea Cargo Charter matter just as much.
Not all measures are of equal importance to all audiences, meaning it is vital to understand your own objectives, and be aware of unintended consequences. The key to success will be carefully considering all potential improvement measures – including hydrodynamic, mechanical, electrical and operational efficiencies, as well having one eye on future fuels – when choosing the right pathway for each individual vessel.
The webinar’s participants will be sharing their expertise on how to move in the right direction and the importance of smart investment.
