The scores for the ships enrolled in the IAPH Environmental Ship Index (ESI) for the quarter starting 1 April 2022 were released last week. Compared to the previous quarter, the number of ships with a score of 20 or more in the database increased from 4,731 to 4,808 and the number of incentive providers rose from 61 to 62. The ESI was established in 2011 and it identifies seagoing ships that perform better in reducing air emissions than required by the current emission standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Is your port already part of the ESI programme? If not, find out more on the ESI website or contact the ESI team at [email protected].
Delegates to the World Ports Conference are invited to join the regional breakfast meetings on 16 May and 17 May, which will include a presentation on the Environmental Ship Index, providing exclusive insight in the plans to include the latest IMO carbon intensity norms for ships and to develop an ‘emissions at berth’ module.
