We’re happy to having worked closely with the Norwegian Shipowners' Association (Norges Rederiforbund) and Offshore Norge in preparing the annual update on the offshore industry’s path towards the national emission targets. VPS has contributed with insight from the Maress database, in combination with our advisory services. This year’s KonKraft report has a new level of details in the chapter on Maritime Operations, providing deep insight into savings seen in various parts of the vessel operations and across vessel segments +++. The numbers clearly show that the emission intensity from maritime ops is dropping, but at the same time the activity is increasing. At the launch of the report the Norwegian Ministry of Energy Terje Aasland said that the targets are indeed demanding, but collaboration is key to reaching them. Further, he stated that the contribution from the report is important in the Government’s further climate policy development. Viggo Bondi, acting CEO in NSA commented that while initiatives like shorepower and energy efficiency are showing clear results, there is a big part of the transition that remains to reach the targets. For vessel owners ++, the part of the report highlighting savings potential from battery solutions and shorepower may be especially interesting. We also encourage everyone to take a look at the concrete industry examples (pp56 & 57) on how digital solutions and new technologies can contribute to emission reductions (including a reference to the #MaressSummerCampaign). https://lnkd.in/dq39QU4Z 📸 Captured at the report launch: Emilian Buksak, VPS Senior Decarbonisation Advisor, alongside Anne Jorunn Møkster, leader of the Offshore group in the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #OilAndGas #Norway #KonKraft #EnergyEfficiency #MaritimeInnovation #DataDriven Simon Johannsson | Trym Edvardsson

Impressive growth!

2moThe report gives the wrong advice. Electric power from shore to charge battery operated ships will take a long time and cost more than most shipowners will be able to afford. To take power from shore to decarbonize petroleum installations will not reduce global emissions, which should be the reason for doing this in the first place. On the contrary, global emissions will increase and costs for this will be sendt to the Norwegian tax payer over the electricity bill.
