EFFICIENCY IS KEY TO ALIGNING SHIPPING TO 1.5ºC BY 2030
UMAS has published a report which studies how unlocking much greater efficiency improvement is key to aligning shipping to 1.5ºC by 2030. Taking expected growth in demand for international shipping into account, the report considers four scenarios with relatively low levels of fuel substitution by 2030, and then derives from them fuel substitution scenarios accounting for the amount of energy efficiency improvement required to meet the target of 37% absolute lifecycle emission reduction by 2030 (on 2008 baseline).
According to UMAS, aligning international shipping’s level of ambition with 1.5°C requires significant absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction by 2030 and 2040: 37% and 96% reductions respectively relative to 2008. Efficiency improvements reduce the demand for energy, and in turn, make the transition away from fossil fuels easier.
Achieving these reductions requires the parallel activities of maximizing energy efficiency and transitioning away from the use of fossil fuels in international shipping. Both of these steps are needed for both the existing fleet and new ships built during this period.
The 2040 target is dependent on the scale-up of new energy supply chains in the next decades thus, developing these supply chains and fostering use of new fuels on ships this decade is important. However, given the short timescale between now and 2030 means, new energy supply chains are unlikely to play a significant role in achieving 1.5°C-aligned 2030 ambitions; therefore, the role of energy efficiency is key in the near-term.

USCG PSC REPORT 2022: 63 SHIPS DETAINED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SAFETY, AND SECURITY DEFICIENCIES
The US Coast Guard’s Office of Commercial Vessel Compliance has published the U.S. Port State Control Annual Report for 2022. USCG reported that the total number of ships detained in 2022 for environmental protection, safety, and security related deficiencies increased from 63 to 78.
The main findings: - In 2022, the Coast Guard conducted 8,706 SOLAS safety exams with a total of 78 detentions.
The annual detention rate increased from 0.73 percent to 0.89 percent.
- The three-year rolling average detention ratio decreased slightly from 0.87 percent to 0.80 percent.
- The total number of ships detained in 2022 for environmental protection, safety, and security related deficiencies increased from 63 to 78.
- Flag Administration performance for 2022 dropped slightly with the overall annual detention rate increasing from 0.73% to 0.89%
Vessel Arrivals, Exams, and Detentions In 2022, a total of 11,235 individual vessels, from 78 different flag administrations, made 80,280 port calls to the U.S., and 8,706 PSC exams were conducted. As we strive to put the global pandemic behind us, these exam numbers increased over the 2021 total of 8,663 and have now surpassed the 2019 pre-pandemic total of 8,622, USCG report reads. The total number of ships detained in 2022 for environmental protection, safety, and security related deficiencies increased from 63 to 78.
