Conclusion: OECD Europe s share of global trade and its influence on the way the industry uses ships is already slipping. What preparations needed?
2: MEETING IMO EMISSIONS TARGETS IN 2050 20/12/2018 Martin Stopford SMI 22 November 20 th 2018 9
Regulation of emissions moving up agenda SHIPPING NEEDS TO THINK THROUGH ITS STRATEGY FOR MEETING THIS APPARENTLY UNACHIEVABLE TARGET NOW IMO s vision is to reduce GHG emissions from international shipping. Emissions should peak as soon as possible and fall by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008. At the same time, the industry should pursue efforts towards phasing out GHG emissions entirely".
Million tonnes CO2e emissions Under Do nothing scenario GHG emissions could grow from 970Mt CO2 in 2008 to 3,000 Mt CO2 in 2050 3 500 3 000 2 500 2 000 1 500 Do nothing Scenario based on 3.2% cargo growth, 14 knots, produces 3,000 Mt ofcarbon emissions in 2050 1 000 500 2050 Target - 2048 2044 2040 2036 2032 2028 2024 2020 2016 2012 2008 2004 2000 1996
20/12/2018 Martin Stopford SMI 22 November 20 th 2018 13 Four ways to CO2 emissions in 2050 from 3,000 Mt to 470 Mt Step 1: Transport less cargo by changing trading patterns, transport policies, pricing and better information systems (38% saving) Step 2: Cut carbon emissions/ship km by slowing down to 10.1 knots; using bigger small ships; designs; retrofitting for safe operation at slow speeds etc (40% saving) Step 3: Develop zero carbon propulsion systems. Electric fuel cells look the best bet for volume and performance (8.5% saving) Step 4: Finally make solutions 1-4 effective by a complete re-think of the industry s organization and personnel structures

20/12/2018 Martin Stopford SMI 22 November 20 th 2018 22 How do you develop products for use on the next generation of digital ships? Design in digital integration at process level, mirroring the auto manufacturing strategy 1. Propulsion plant management 2 Auxiliary power management 3. Auxiliary machinery operation 4. Ballast & trim management 5. Navigation & manoeuvring CONNECTIVITY+ SEMI- AUTOMATION+DASHBOARDS etc 6. Cargo handling operations 7. IT & comms systems 8. Spares and maintenance. On board communications
Example 1: Seamless - voyage management systems Terminal scheduling team Data exchange to & from ships Voyage monitoring and weather planning system Shipping office voyage analysis team Terminal management dashboard Ship managers Fleet liaison manager Martin Stopford, November 2018 Fleet management dashboard
Example 2: Improved - mooring systems Moormaster 400 units, each have two suction cup panels of twenty tons power. Combined whole system delivers a mooring force of 160 tons. Hawser mooring is dangerous and labour intensive For example officer on Zara (top left) suffered severe head injuries when he was struck by a parted HMPE mooring rope Big ships needs to carry five or six people to manage the mooring Dynamic magnetic and suction cup systems are in operation for bunkering and mooring deep sea vessels. Martin Stopford, November 2018
Example 3: autonomous cargo handling - 25,600 dwt LNG self-discharging bulk carrier Haaga and Viikki are first bulkers with autonomous self-discharging cranes. This function should be operative in the next few months. Using sensor technology, cameras and laser scanners, the cranes analyse the topography of each cargo hold and determine the optimal lifting points. An 'intelligent' self-learning algorithm ensures the bucket is not overloaded and compensates for heeling to ensure even unloading. The algorithm also calculates which shoreside hopper to discharge into. Some of the technology, such as the grab s learning capability, will be adapted for use with other systems such as small container ships
Example 4: Drone Tank Inspections Martin Stopford, November 2018
Example 5 Condition based maintenance a real winner but difficult to implement 20/12/2018 Martin Stopford SMI 22 November 20 th 2018 27
Example 6: Yara autonomous electric containership The vessel will operate in Norway, in a cargo transit between Yara's fertiliser plant in Porsgrunn to ports in Brevik and Larvik. Delivery 2020, length 80 metres; beam 15 metres; cargo capacity of 120 TEU. It will replace 40,000 truck journeys a year. An interesting niche es Martin Stopford, November 2018

Conclusions 1. The maritime trade role of the OECD Europe is slipping. 2. B2B maritime logistics and GHG reduction are super strategic goals we can excel in both, so lets go for it!! 3. We need smart trade management to ensure trade adds value in commercial & carbon terms. 4. Also increase ship size, focussing on the smaller end. 5. ASAP cut GHG emissions with a new generation of ships optimised for e.g. 10 knots and low carbon. 6. Replace diesel engines with hydrogen power (e.g. fuel cells/plasma) from the mid-20s onwards. 7. Massively improve performance measurement 8. Re-think of organisation structures for smart management, teamwork and more balanced workforce The trick is to decide where you want to go, get your head down, and GO 20-Dec-18 Climate change: four responses to IMO's maritime challenge 34
