Descripción
Resumen:The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by or around 2050. The ship energy efficiency framework has played a positive role over the past decade in improving carbon intensity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by employing the technical and operational energy efficiency metrics as effective appraisal tools. To quantify the ship energy efficiency performance and review the existing energy efficiency framework, this paper analyzed the data for the reporting year of 2023 extracted from the European Union (EU) monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system, and investigated the operational profiles and energy efficiency for the ships calling at EU ports. The results show that the data accumulated in the EU MRV system could provide powerful support for conducting ship energy efficiency appraisals, which could facilitate the formulation of decarbonization policies for global shipping and management decisions for stakeholders. However, data quality, ship operational energy efficiency metrics, and co-existence with the IMO data collection system (DCS) remain issues to be addressed. With the improvement of IMO DCS system and the implementation of IMO Net-Zero Framework, harmonizing the two systems and avoiding duplicated regulation of shipping emissions at the EU and global levels are urgent.
