By 2025 ships will be approximately 25% more energy efficient. It applies to ships when built, and mandates ships to be more efficient than an agreed average baseline. There are two sets of regulations for the energy efficiency of internationally trading ships:įirst, the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships.
These were adopted in July 2011 and entered into force on 1 January 2013. We are therefore primarily a normative Organization, and we have adopted mandatory measures to regulate energy efficiency from a global sector, international shipping. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is responsible for global regulation of all aspects of international shipping and has a key role in ensuring that lives at sea are not put at risk, and that the environment is not polluted by ships’ operations –in short we say: Safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans. It is in fact the most cost-effective and energy-efficient mode of mass cargo transport, and is a key pillar of the development of a sustainable global economy. Let me start by reminding you of the essential role international shipping plays in the facilitation of world trade.
