Abstract
The shipping industry is responsible for the carriage of 90% of world trade. Thus, it remains the most energy efficient mode of transport. Shipping is expected to have greater impact on global warming considering size of vessel plying the world ocean. The Green House Gas (GHG) emissions are the main air pollutants in maritime transportation. In 2007, CO₂ emission from the shipping amounted to 847 million tones or about 2.7% of global CO₂ emission and it is expected to reach 18% in 2050. In July 2009, Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) approved to circulate interim guidelines on the method of calculation of Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) to create stronger incentives for further improvements in ship"s fuel consumption, resulting CO₂ emissions on a capacity basis.
