Lloyd's Register's Ship Energy Manager, Dr Zabi Bazari, speaking to 1st Blue Shipping Summit in Athens today, highlighted the potentials for energy saving in shipping.
His main message was that despite significant energy savings that can potentially be achieved, this may not be realisable if current shipping regulatory, legal and financial frameworks are not developed along the line to support the uptake of new technologies and processes.
He argued that a robust regulatory framework together with enhanced contractual arrangement, between charterers and ship owners at one side to facilitate cost-benefit sharing from energy saving operation processes, and also between technology suppliers and ship owners on risk-benefit sharing arising from energy saving technologies are not being fully utilised yet.

2. How to reduce ship energy use / CO2 emissions?
• Energy-efficient ship design.
• Larger ships and economy of scale
• Low carbon fuel (e.g. LNG)
• Slow steam
• Technology retrofit
• Operation optimisation
• Just in time operation
• Itinerary optimisation
• Ship capacity utilisation
• Trim optimisation / weather routing / etc.
• Technical optimisation
• Hull maintenance
• Diesel engine optimisation
• Machinery usage minimisation
Drivers: Fuel costs
• High and increasing fuel
prices
• Sulphur regulations leading
to increasing use of
expensive:
• Low sulphur fuel
• Distillates 4.50

5. Complexities: Stakeholders (IMO Guidelines on SEEMP)

Management Cargo Owner
Stakeholders
Ship Owner Ship Charterer
More coordination between stakeholders is required for energy
efficiency
Complexities: Economics of ship operation
• Who pays for the fuel?
• Charterers
• Ship owners
• Cargo owner
• Etc.
• Who benefits from energy efficiency?
• Who pays for energy efficient technologies / operation
processes?
The financial aspects of “ship energy saving”, in terms of
saving”
cost-benefit, is very complex
cost-

6. Complexities: Measurement, monitoring, finacial and legal
frameworks
• Fuel consumption measurement.
• Performance assessment & verification.
• Large number of energy-saving products with significant saving-
level claims.
• Lack of financial-legal frameworks to reward energy efficient
operation.
22 The way forward?

7. Way forward: Regulatory regime
• An EEDI regulatory framework that is truly representative of
ship’s technical energy efficiency.
• Regulations on operational fuel consumption measurement,
CO2 inventory and their verification.
• Making industry pay for CO2 emissions (MBM).
Way forward: Financial and legal framework
• Upgrading of charter party contracts to enable / incentivise
energy efficient operations.
• Development of risk-sharing contracts between technology
supplier and owners for claims made for various technologies.
• Development of benefits-sharing practices on fuel savings;
between owners/managers and charterers.

8. Conclusions
• There are a number of major drivers for ship energy efficiency.
• There are a number of major complexities within the industry that
impedes move towards more energy efficient operation.
• Solutions to these complexities will pave the way for a more
energy efficient shipping industry.
• The way forward should include:
• A more robust regulatory framework.
• A charter-party framework that rewards energy-efficient
operations.
• A financial framework that give a shared cost/benefit to
stakeholders for uptake of new technologies or new operation
processes.
