SHIPPING WORKSHOP:
Reducing the Cost and Carbon
Emissions of Maritime Transport
Port of Rotterdam, September
18-19, 2014
“Creating sustainable and profitable supply
chains in the shipping industry requires
coordination amongst cargo-owners—even
potentially amongst competitors. This
coordination is essential for building a more
efficient, profitable industry.”
José María Figueres, President of the Carbon
War Room.
Join the Carbon War Room, Pure Birds, cargo-owners, and the Port of Rotterdam
for an invitation-only workshop event to explore how cargo-owners can drive costs
down and reduce emissions.
The workshop will convene 30 leading cargo-owners from shippers and charterers
to work together to create systemic cost-savings and change. The event will explore
future opportunities to embed efficiency into commercial operations, building on
individual cargo-owner ambitions and strategies, and the great work done by a
variety of initiatives to collect information about fleet efficiency.
WHAT YOU WILL GAIN:
Energy-Saving Solutions & Best Practices
•
Hear industry leaders from Cargill, Shell, Nike, Friesland Campina, and AB-Inbev
share their insights on best practices for vessel procurement that incorporate
efficiency data to optimize operations and potentially reduce costs
•
Gain an understanding of current practices around sea freight and vessel
procurement, and ways to stimulate and incentivize the adoption of energy-saving
solutions in ships
•
Participate in small groups to discuss the benefits and challenges of adopting
energy-saving solutions, brainstorming actions to harness those benefits and limit
any challenges
ABOUT THE A – G GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS RATING
Launched by RightShip and the Carbon War Room, the A to G Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Rating enables charterers, owners and ports to instantly see a ship’s
theoretical greenhouse gas emissions and relative energy efficiency compared to
ships of similar size and type. Vessels are rated from A (most efficient) to G (least
efficient). Some of the data, including a vessel’s rating, is available free-of-charge
through www.shippingefficiency.org, a joint initiative between RightShip and the
Carbon War Room.
