There does, however, appear to be a consensus
within the International community, including the
International Maritime Organization (IMO), that some
measures affecting the technology of ships and
reduce GHG emission intensity rates (CO2/ton-mile)
by 25-75 per cent below the current levels. Moreover,
the international shipping industry is of the view that
through joint and combined technical and operational
efforts, it should be possible to reduce 15-20 per
cent of CO2 emissions per ton freight per kilometre
by 2020.
