Innovative new service from WNI (Weathernews) aims to set the standard for emissions reporting and compliance
“Our vision is to help create a sustainable future for shipping founded on safety and environmental consciousness. Our new Carbon Intensity Monitoring (CIM) service is an integral part of that journey and promises to make a huge difference in reliable CO2 reporting and regulatory compliance,” says Weathernews Americas CEO Antonio Brizzo.
International shipping carries around 90% of world trade by volume, but as a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it remains a major sustainability issue for global supply chains. Emissions from shipping rose by nearly 10% between 2012 and 2018, and this will grow in the absence of far-sighted mitigation strategies. New solutions must be swiftly adopted if shipping is to meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s target to reduce emissions by 50% by 2050 amid clear signs of climate change worldwide.
