Lack of regulatory pressure on small bulker fleet is causing climate ‘mismatch’
- Cargo owners have lofty climate ambitions, but the fleet they are utilising is not conducive to their aims, a new report has found
- But many struggle to even collect emissions data from their shipowners in the first place
- EU emissions regulations do not apply to vessels under 5,000 gt, so limited pressure to improve or replace the small bulker fleet
With FuelEU not applying to vessels below 5,000 gt, many cargo owners that utilise this fleet are struggling to realise lofty transport decarbonisation goals
