Current port projects Carbon Foot Print On-shore Power Supply= IMT Environmental Ship Index Intermodal Transport Low Emission Yard Equipment Sustainability in Lease Agreements Low emission zones in the port Ultra low sulphur for inland navigation

MODAL SHIFT

Modal split: containers Seagoing vessel train 11% road 56% barge 33%

Rail transport –Antwerp is located on a junction of international lines –1055 km of railway tracks in the port –Each terminal is connected to the railway network –250 loaded cargo trains daily

Barge transport –Connected to the European waterway network by Scheldt-Rhine canal and Albert canal –Main inland terminals within easy reach: Brussels, Liège, Duisburg, Ludwigshafen, Basel, etc.

Modal split: containers Seagoing vessel train 20% road 40% barge 40%

Introduction Environmental performance of shipping Air emissions from shipping Environmental Ship Index

Global mechanisms have the largest potential to have a meaningful impact on shipping’s environmental performance

ESI: what it is [1] The ESI is a measure for the environmental performance of seagoing ships (air emissions) relative to IMO rules It provides a tool that will assist ports and other parties to promote clean shipping Use is on a voluntary base Maximum responsibility with the ship owner

ESI: what it is [2] ESI is composed of credits (0 – 100) for above-baseline environmental performance regarding NO x, SO x (indirect PM) and CO 2 NO x : depending on performance of main- and auxiliary engines SO x : depending of the sulphur content of the fuels used CO 2 : bonus for monitoring and reporting of CO 2 emissions SEEMP

ESI: what it is [3] Simple and transparent ESI value is easy to determine, use and verify World wide recognition Suitable for all sizes and types of ships

ESI: how will it work [1] Ports develop their own incentive scheme based on ESI points and inform the ESI administration The ESI administration will enter this into its database ESI points Incentive Port A > 40 rebate on port tariff Port B > 30 rebate on port service charges ….. …..

ESI: how will it work [2] Ships may obtain an ESI by reporting on verified engine certificates, bunker fuel information and CO 2 reporting, via a secured web-based application The ESI administration will confirm the ESI and enter this into the central database

ESI: how will it work [3] On entering an ESI-Port, the ship may inform that port of its participation in ESI The port may then apply incentives for clean shipping Whenever a port wishes It can verify the ESI and may check the data on board the ship and report the results to the ESI administration

ESI: the way ahead Stakeholder presentations were done in 2009 Launch of the web-based application Sept 2010 Set-up of a ESI ships data base and data base for promotional schemes in 2010 ESI in use in 2011

Cooperation with stakeholders

50 ships tested, all categories Approach feasible and data available on board hours needed for data gathering Scores for NO x and SO x show significant differences ESI: test in project group ports

ESI test results overall ESI scores (max. 100) ESI: test results

NEW IMO / EU SOX VALUES  Globally 4.5 % till 1 January % from 1 January % from 1 January 2020  In Emission Control Areas 1.5 % till 1 July % from 1 July % from 1 January 2015  At berth Max 0.1% in EU from 1 January 2010

PM is linked to SOX-content

DEVELOPMENT OF ESI-SOX INDEX

NEW NOX STANDARDS OF IMO rp m = rotations per minute
