The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) as well as Copenhagen Business School (CBS) Maritime introduced a brand-new collaboration under the Green Shipping Project.
Bringing clearness to the sustainability problems bordering the alternate gas present for delivery’s decarbonisation, the cooperation concentrates on specifying requirements to develop these gas’ sustainability qualifications as well as to promote their qualification. No sustainability criterion neither relevant qualification plan presently exist for aquatic gas.
SSI as well as CBS Maritime’s collaboration will certainly see the growth of a collection of sustainability requirements for aquatic gas, using these requirements to examine the alternate gas presently being discovered for zero-emission delivery.

The requirements will certainly additionally feed right into a variety of decarbonisation efforts throughout the maritime as well as power markets. SSI will ultimately involve with qualification bodies to promote the growth of a sustainability criterion or qualification plan for aquatic gas.
The cooperation is executed under the Green Shipping Project, a worldwide study collaboration took care of collectively by CBS Maritime as well as the Centre for Transportation Studies at the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Sauder School of Business inVancouver With the goal of progressing understanding as well as understanding in the direction of the dynamic administration of lasting maritime transportation, the Green Shipping Project was introduced in 2017 as well as is a cooperation of 18 colleges as well as 19 federal government, sector, as well as NGO companions. Funded by the Social Sciences as well as Humanities Research Council of Canada, the global maritime study network is concentrated on 5 locations of study: Trade as well as Logistics; Green Ports; Innovation; Stakeholders; as well as Value Chains.
Andrew Stephens, Executive Director at SSI claimed: “SSI has to do with cooperation amongst enthusiastic as well as action-oriented leaders extending the delivery worth chain, including our peers in academic community. Our collaboration with CBS Maritime via the Green Shipping Project will certainly add believed management to the wider dispute presently underway in the maritime industry.
“Today, we have no clarity nor consensus on the sustainability issues surrounding the fuels being explored for shipping’s decarbonisation, and the criteria to assess their sustainability remain undefined. This work will contribute to this debate and ultimately, inform the selection of one or more winning options for zero-emission shipping.”
Dr Henrik Sornn-Friese, Co-Director of the Green Shipping Project as well as Director as well as Associate Professor at CBS Maritime claimed: “CBS Maritime was developed in 2013 to connect the business economics as well as administration techniques at CBS as well as work together with companies as well as various other understanding organizations to progress the facility difficulties of worldwide delivery as well as the wider maritime sector. It ended up being a stepping-stone for really cross-disciplinary study cooperation throughout 3 continents in the Green Shipping Project.
We think that university-industry cooperation is seriously crucial for the accomplishment of lasting development as well as sector makeover, commercialization as well as competition, too for the development of academic community as well as college. High- top quality scholastic study is critical in developing brand-new clinical understanding that sector does not have, neither can produce by itself. Our collaboration with SSI is amazing in uniting an international network of stakeholders in dealing with among the greatest difficulties in today’s global maritime delivery”
Dr David Gillen, Principal Investigator of the Green Shipping Project as well as Director of the Centre for Transportation Studies as well as Professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business claimed: “Our research collaboration with SSI on alternative fuels provides a rich contribution to the goals of our green shipping project. It is critical and timely for not just helping to understand the challenges but also the opportunities for the essential transformation of the maritime sector.”
