THE International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) Publications has released the second edition of 'Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Guide to International Regulatory Compliance', an updated resource designed to help ship owners, operators, and managers navigate the increasingly complex regulations surrounding maritime decarbonization.
Chris Waddington, technical director at ics and contributor to the guide, said: 'This updated edition comes at a critical juncture for the shipping industry. The new chapter on EU ETS addresses one of the most pressing and challenging topics in maritime regulation today, providing clarity on its current status and implications for global shipping.'
This guide covers the full scope of maritime emissions issues, from current regulations to future trends. It simplifies complex topics, making it an invaluable tool for those in the maritime sector, reports Greece's Container News.
'We're particularly excited about the new section linking GHG and URN reduction measures. This innovative approach demonstrates how efforts to reduce emissions can have multiple benefits, including addressing the growing concern of underwater noise pollution,' added Mr Waddington.
Key updates in the second edition include: A new chapter addressing the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), clarifies the confusion around its application to ships trading within and outside the EU; examination of the link between reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and underwater radiated noise (URN), emphasizing how efforts to minimize one often benefit the other; a detailed appendix listing around 100 methods for reducing both GHG emissions and URN; and an extensive review and update of all content to ensure it reflects the latest developments in the regulatory landscape.
