The transition from “Sail Fast Then Wait (SFTW)” ⏩ “Sail Smart and Save Money and the Planet” 🚢 through the power of data and analytics.💻📉 Why not give it a try? 🤷♀️ Most of the time, the solution💡is in the “simple”. This is a prime example of achieving significant energy and carbon savings solely through the power of data and analytics—without any capital expenditures or structural changes. The brilliance lies in the win-win-win business model 🤝, where all stakeholders benefit from overcoming organizational inertia to adopt a new solution.🎯 Energy efficiency is fundamental to decarbonization and is often highlighted as the most cost-effective method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the near term. The solution proposed by Blue Visby Solution exemplifies this by optimizing maritime travel speeds to lower emissions and costs. This approach demonstrates how energy efficiency and increased profits from renewable energy use are central to decarbonization strategies across various sectors. Beyond reducing fuel consumption and emissions, saving money, and maintaining schedules, there are additional benefits. Avoiding prolonged waiting periods at anchor minimizes hull fouling, enhancing efficiency over time. Lowering sea speeds also improves air quality near ports and reduces underwater noise pollution. Digital solutions are key. PortXchange [B-Corp] is on the right path! #shippingindustry #decarbonization #netzero #sustainability

Maritime transport accounts for 80% of global trade and 3-5% of global emissions, with a reputation of being slow to adapt and innovate. How are regulations and sustainability targets driving demand for sustainable maritime solutions? Recent technology innovations include vessel design optimization, wind propulsion, automation solutions, and logistics and routing optimization software, bringing the possibility to achieve roughly 5-25% fuel savings and emissions reductions. However, while interim decarbonization goals may be met by these optimization technologies and efficiency solutions, longer-term goals of 70%-100% decarbonization will only be achieved through systems-level transition to zero-carbon fuels and vessel and port electrification.
