How charterers can significantly reduce shipping emissions

The Siglar Carbon Efficient Chartering concept helps responsible charterers make significant emissions reductions from their chartering activities.

Tackling a global challenge

International shipping emits more than 1 000 million tonnes of CO2e per year, and this number is projected to rise. According to the Fourth IMO Greenhose Gas (GHG) Study, shipping emissions represent 2,89% of the worlds GHG emissions. If the sector were a country, it would rank sixth in the world in terms of emissions.

Three fundamental steps to Carbon Efficient Chartering™

You have to measure to manage and you have to manage to make efficient emissions reductions. These three steps are fundamental to the Siglar Carbon Efficient Chartering™ concept.

Emission Schemes

UK Emissions Trading System

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) is the United Kingdom’s carbon pricing mechanism. It operates as a cap-and-trade system that places a cost on greenhouse gas emissions by requiring operators to surrender tradable emission allowances corresponding to their verified emissions.

California Ocean Going Vessels At Berth Regulation

The California Ocean Going Vessels At Berth Regulation is a mandatory operational standard for vessels while docked at California ports. The regulation requires vessels, terminals, ports and approved emission control operators to reduce emissions during port stays.

Gabon Sovereign Carbon Initiative

The Governments of Djibouti and Gabon have introduced sovereign carbon registry frameworks that apply a carbon cost to qualifying ship movements to and from their ports.
