SHIPPING WORKSHOP:
REDUCING THE COST AND
CARBON EMISSIONS OF
MARITIME TRANSPORT PORT
OF ROTTERDAM,
SEPTEMBER 19, 2014
“Creating sustainable and profitable supply
chains in the shipping industry requires
coordination amongst a wide variety of
stakeholders—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 other leading stakeholders at a workshop event to drive innovation in
sustainable shipping and create systemic cost-savings. Cargo-owners, shipowners,
technology providers, and financiers will work together to explore current and future
opportunities in shipping including innovative finance for retrofits, biofuels, and the
use of big data and information and communications technology (ICT) to increase
efficiency—of both vessels and port traffic.
WHAT YOU WILL GAIN:
• Hear industry leaders share their insights on best practices for energy-saving
solutions for the shipping industry to optimize operations and reduce costs
• Gain an understanding of current solutions to reduce the fuel and carbon
emissions from shipping, including everything from virtual arrival to wind
technologies
• 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
• Engage in a workshop about innovations to finance the deployment of efficiency
technologies in shipping
Hidden Treasure: Financial Models for Shipping
Retrofits
The shipping industry can attract new sources of capital, improve its overall fuel
efficiency, and save on fuel costs at the same time. A Carbon War Room report,
produced in collaboration with the University College London Energy Institute,
details two promising financial models for the adoption of fuel-efficiency and
alternative-fuel technologies, which profitably reduce both the fuel costs and the
greenhouse gas emissions of the shipping industry.
