Energy transition is a major component of IAPH's sustainability strategy announced in October 2020. The association later revealed that it has joined the IMO-Norway GreenVoy-age2050 project as a strategic partner. A joint venture between the Norwegian government - providing US$5.4 million funding - and the IMO, the GreenVoyage2050 project aims to transform shipping and support developing countries to meet their commitments. IAPH, through its new Climate and Energy Committee, will focus on uniting energy transition- and environment-related port initiatives, serving as a conduit to policymaking at IMO level. In November, IMO's 75th Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC75) meeting agreed a package of short-term technical and operational measures to address ships' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. During the meeting, IAPH introduced the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index, the Carbon Intensity Indicator, and strengthening of the ship energy efficiency management plan. IAPH is evaluating integration options with its Environmental Ship Index (ESI), which assesses vessels' GHG emissions and has registered around 8,400 vessels and about 60 incentive providers since 2013. |
