Sailing speed optimization
•Q: are ship speeds fixed? •Those who pay for the fuel
(ship owner or charterer)
•A: By no means!! determine ship speed as a
function of basically 2
inputs:
•Ships do NOT trade at
predetermined speeds
•Freight rate
•Fuel price
51 42187 25/04/2023
Speed tradeoffs
•A higher speed will be •BUT: A higher speed will
more costly in terms of earn more money per unit
fuel consumption time (haul more cargoes)
•Hence, it makes sense to
•FC vs speed: highly optimize it!

Initial IMO Strategy (2018)
• Levels of ambition:
– total GHG emissions from international shipping should peak as soon as possible
and total annual GHG emissions should be reduced by at least 50% by
2050 compared to 2008, while, at the same time, pursuing efforts towards phasing
them out entirely.
– reduce CO2 emissions per transport work, as an average across international
shipping, by at least 40% by 2030, pursuing efforts towards 70% by 2050,
compared to 2008;
