To What Extent Has Progress Been Made by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) In Reducing CO2 Emissions from Global Shipping?

Bayley-Craig, Lisa 04 May 2020 (has links)
90% of global trade is transported by cargo ships, with fossil fuel being the dominant energy source used. As global trade increases, shipping will be in greater demand resulting in increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants negatively impacting the environment and human health. Carbon dioxide (CO2), our area of interest, is the number one contributing gas to global warming. We, therefore, examine the role of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in reducing CO2 emissions from shipping, and determine the progress made so far. Our research reveals that progress in this area is on a slow trajectory. The current IMO regulations focus solely on energy efficiency measures that do not appear to be as successful as envisioned in reducing CO2 emissions. In addition, the concept of decarbonization of the sector, which would lead to zero emissions, is delayed. With this in mind, we provide recommendations regarding future IMO actions.

Sjöqvist, Mattias, Sorocka, Filip January 2011 (has links)
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to make a business analysis of the Global Shipping industry, using a sample of four shipping companies in Norway, in order to establish whether the profitability is prosperous and sustainable enough for future growth. Also which different factors have been affecting the profitability. Background: Both the International and the Norwegian Shipping industry has been seen as an fluctuating industry, characterized poor returns, short market cycles where market booms have caused extraordinary returns. Additionally the shipping industry has recently been seen as a non-sustainable industry, where the proportion of its actions has not covered its sustainability, where, for example the vessels internationally have been seen to release a great amount of greenhouse gases. Method: Annual reports from 1970 – 2009 have been used in order to establish the profitability and sustainability reporting within the Norwegian Shipping in-dustry, additionally interviews have been conducted in order to gather knowledge within Sustainability reporting and being Sustainable, as well as relevant journals have been gathered from diverse databases. Conclusion: The findings of this thesis present that the shipping industry has not been sustainable, and that its growth has been fluctuating. Thus the conclusion being that the shipping industry is a very fluctuating industry where each company is driven by profit maximizing and thinking of their survival in a short-term perspective, rather than a long-term perspective.

國際貨櫃航運之特殊櫃專案研究 / Global Shipping – Special Cargo Projects

謝定寰, Hsieh, Sam Unknown Date (has links)
國際貨櫃航運之特殊櫃專案研究 / Due to the market situation, the shipping industry is now facing a huge challenge of unbalance in supply and demand sides. After 2006, more and more shipping companies start to build the vessels with large capacity because they think the bigger the better. With the new technology of efficient dynamics, more fuel cost can be saved even with the huge size of the vessel. However, with the impact of financial tsunami, the demand for cargo shipping is much lower than the capacity supply from the carriers. Besides, the ocean freights are hardly to increase because of serious competitive between carriers. Hence, the only way to raise the revenue is to cherry pick the cargo and find the high revenue products. Besides, according to the research, 2015 is still a tough year for the shipping industry because of the low freight rates in general cargo and over supply for the space capacity. Therefore, I plan to create a project team to focus on special equipment transportation only in my company, which can help the clients with the packing, inland haulage, customs declaration, and ocean shipping tills the final destination. Our target for example, out of gauge machines, flight simulators, and factory facilities…those over size cargos. I believe customers will care more about the safety while shipping than the price, so the profit will be higher than the standard size cargo. Besides, with fewer competitors in the marketplace, we can create our irreplaceable value in such niche market.
