Decarbonising Maritime Transport The Case of Sweden Case-Specific Policy Analysis
Year: 2018 Language: english Author: International Transport Forum Genre: Research papers Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 30 Description: The Swedish shipping industry has been very active in decarbonising shipping. Its industry association has formulated a target of zero-carbon shipping by 2050 and various Swedish shipping companies are pioneers in low-carbon shipping. The country now counts a number of innovative green vessels projects. Stena Line runs a ferry on methanol; Sirius Shipping has developed a ship-to-ship LNG bunkering vessel; numerous Swedish shipping companies - such as Terntank, Erik Thun and Rederi Gotland – have pioneered services with LNG-propelled vessels; and both HH Ferries and Green City Ferries have introduced electric ships. This pro-active approach in Sweden is driven by an effective partnership of responsible shipping companies and shippers. Most Swedish shipping companies are family owned, and most shipping families are traditionally located in Donsö, a de facto maritime cluster that stimulates trust to cooperate in developing green and innovative ships. The interest of Swedish ship-owners in sustainability and innovation has been encouraged by large Swedish shippers, such as the energy company Preem, that are dedicated to green supply chains. This has resulted in partnerships between shippers and shipping companies that overcome barriers that have traditionally hampered progress in greening shipping. In particular the willingness of certain shippers to commit to long-term charter contracts with the new lowcarbon ships seems to have been a main determining factor.
