1. IMO Symposium on a Sustainable Maritime
Transportation System
London, 26 September 2013
Energy Efficiency and Implementation of New Technologies in the Context of Sustainable Shipping
Roberto Cazzulo
Chairman of the IACS Council and of RINA Services S.p.A.

2. Role of new technology and innovation
Summary
Role of new technology and innovation
Air emissions
Energy efficiency
Safety

3. Environment Economy Society Safety Sustainability
Ships are part of an integrated logistics and transport chain and therefore need an effective and efficient supporting infrastructure

4. Examination of the economic impact, i.e. cost-benefit analysis
Some challenges
Verification that any new technologies are commercially available and their performance is satisfactory in the long term
Analysis of the impact of one regulation or piece of equipment on others, e.g. safety or environmental issues
Examination of the economic impact, i.e. cost-benefit analysis

5. Global Logistic Chain
Loading and unloading
Transhipment
Integration

6. Estimated annual figures GHG emission reductions
Fuel cost savings
Million tonnes CO2
% reduction
Billion US$
By 2020
180
9 - 16%
By 2030
390 %
IMO GHG study (2009)

7. Energy Efficiency Design Index
Cost: emissions of CO2
Benefit: cargo capacity & transport work
EEDI =
Environmental cost
Benefit to Society
Reduction targets “X” for
Bulk Carriers dwt and above
1 Jan 2013 ÷31 Dec 2014: X is 0
1 Jan 2015 ÷31 Dec 2019: X is 10
1 Jan 2020 ÷31 Dec 2024: X is 20
on or after 1 Jan 2025: X is 30
At the beginning of Phase 1 and at the midpoint of Phase 2, the IMO will review the status of technological developments and, if proven necessary, amend the time periods, EEDI reference line parameters and reduction rates

10. LNG as fuel ECA NOx Tier III (2016) LNG SECA SOx (2015)
Global SOx (2020)
0.1%
0.5%
75%
LNG
Cut NOx /SOx emissions
< 20-25% CO2 emissions
reduce complexities

11. LNG infrastructure
LNG or other alternative fuels that may be considered but
will not be used as an alternative to traditional marine fuels
if there is not the necessary infrastructure to support it

12. Role of Class and IACS Verification of the EEDI
Minimum propulsion power
Monitoring reporting and verification
Gas-fuelled ships
Innovative energy-saving devices
Technology qualification
Structured approaches

13. Conclusions Ships are the most sustainable means of transport
Challenge to apply new technologies or alternative fuels
Interfaces with other systems
Long-term performance and economic balance
Ships cannot be seen in isolation
Sustainability aspects need to be, and can be, measured
Innovation is inextricably linked to sustainability

14. Final consideration The design phase for next generation of ships
that will still be operating in 2050
will commence shortly
