On 22 August, we launched our inaugural WMU Summer Institute with a week-long intensive programme on Maritime Decarbonization. A total of 35 maritime professionals from 20 different countries and five continents spent the week learning about and discussing the opportunities and challenges surrounding the reduction of GHG emissions from shipping.

One of the newly emerging environmental issues is underwater noise pollution. It has both negative environmental
and socio-economic impacts and threatens sustainable shipping. While other types of shipping pollutants
have been regulated and societal awareness has been raised, due to the intangible characteristics of underwater
noise pollution, there is neither societal awareness nor an international legally binding instrument to mitigate
underwater noise pollution. It is crucial raise awareness of ship owners regarding UWN pollution by
introducing the sources of UWN pollution, as well as proposing a transdisciplinary policy for shipping companies
to mitigate UWN pollution from their ships. The proposed policy should be aligned with IMO's initial GHG strategy,
especially the Energy Efficiency Design Index, Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index, and Enhanced Ship Energy
Efficiency Management Plan. This multi-dimensional approach will make stakeholders more enthusiastic to
tackle underwater noise pollution while enhancing the efficient use of capacities and resources.

Interesting results and discussions!

It is clear that for fossil-fuel powered ships, their operational
cycle constitutes the majority of its life-cycle air
emissions; however, as shipping is anticipated to move
towards zero-carbon fuels, electricity and sail, and solar
power, the fraction of shipyard operations in a ship's life
cycle will become larger than their operational phase by
the next decades. Another study also showed that if a car ferry
was propelled by batteries using electricity from the Norwegian
electricity grid, its construction bore a greater
life-cycle climate impact than its operation. In the future,
using a complete “cradle to grave” approach covering the
lifespan of the ship from the design stage to scrapping is
expected to become more important. Moreover, based
on the Paris Agreement, not only the nations but also
individuals and industries are responsible for the mitigation
of GHG emissions and shipyards are no exception,
and it is required that states consider the shipyards emissions
within their National Determined Contributions
(NDCs).
