The global shipping industry, represented by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), has released a new fact sheet titled, ‘Delivering CO2 Emission Reductions: Shipping is Part of the Solution’, which details how the global shipping industry is prepared to reduce total CO2 emissions. Having reduced total CO2 emissions by 30% since 2007, the industry is delivering carbon neutral growth, despite a global increase in maritime trade. However, the ICS has announced it will further reduce industry CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050. The ICS will achieve this target through more than 10% more efficient ships being built after 2025, that will be larger, use better engines with cleaner fuels and smarter speed management.
