Focus On Sustainable Shipping At Singapore Event
On April 26th in Singapore, Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) launched a series of practical, collaborative action plans aimed at developing a sustainable shipping industry for the future. Wärtsilä and other members have committed to deliver first results before the end of 2013.
Presented as part of Singapore Maritime Week, the action plans are a significant step for the SSI as it works toward achieving its vision of a shipping industry that is both profitable and sustainable by 2040.
"The SSI has committed to an ambitious vision for the industry, and these action plans are a vital step in us achieving this vision. Work is focused on creating a clear framework that the wider industry can use to adopt more sustainable practices. Over the next 18 months, members will be developing new prototypes, technologies and financial models that promote sustainability as well as the guidelines that businesses need to implement change", says Jonathon Porritt, Forum for the Future’s Founder Director.
Four working groups – results by the end of 2013
In order to work on the plans SSI members have been split into four initial work streams, with each one focusing on a different key area for the industry that have been identified as a key leverage point, and where there is most potential to work together to accelerate change.
These include:
financing sustainable shipping
innovation in energy technology
closed loop materials management
credible benchmarking and standards.
Members have committed to deliver tangible results for each work stream before the end of 2013.
