Is slow steaming a sustainable means of reducing CO2 emissions from container shipping
TLDR
In this article, the authors measure the rate at which CO 2 emissions have already been reduced and to estimate the bunker break-even price at which slow steaming is sustainable for various trades in the long run.Abstract:
Reductions in speed significantly reduce CO 2 emissions from international shipping. Slow steaming strategies, which were not sustainable a few years ago when the container markets were booming, have been implemented by most shipping lines. This article attempts to measure the rate at which CO 2 emissions have already been reduced and to estimate the bunker break-even price at which slow steaming is sustainable for various trades in the long run. The paper shows that such reductions, such as the estimated 11% decrease in emissions since 2008, can only be sustained given a bunker price of at least $350-400 for the main east-west trades.read more

Updated emissions from ocean shipping
TL;DR: In this article, a bottom-up estimate of fuel consumption and vessel activity for internationally registered fleets, including cargo vessels, other commercial vessels, and military vessels, was employed to assess ship emissions impacts, and sensitivity analyses of inputs to these estimates, identifying uncertainty in vessel duty-cycle as critical to overall emissions estimates.
