INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT FORUM
ITF
MEETING
The conclusions of the workshop will serve as inputs to the ITF work on decarbonising transport and to the global discussion on decarbonising maritime transport, including the COP24 discussions in December in Poland.
The International Transport Forum (ITF) at the OECD is an intergovernmental organisation with 59 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy that covers all modes of transport. The ITF’s mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy. The ITF acts as a platform for discussion of transport policy issues. It analyses trends, shares knowledge and promotes exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society.
MARITIME TRANSPORT
Maritime transport currently represents around 2½% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions from shipping could more than double by 2050 without additional policy measures The International Maritime Organization (IMO) formulated an Initial Greenhouse Gas Strategy in April 2018 which contains a vision to reach full decarbonisation as soon as possible in this century, as well as targets and candidate measures to achieve this goal.
This work, together with the conclusions of a survey and workshop on maritime transport will serve as input to the ITF’s Decarbonising Transport initiative, as well as to the global discussion on decarbonising maritime transport at the 24th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 24) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and beyond.
OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP
Full decarbonisation of shipping is possible but cannot be reached without a transition towards alternative fuels, as indicated by the 2018 ITF publication: “Decarbonising Maritime Transport: pathways for zero-carbon shipping by 2035”. IMO Member countries and the shipping community will in the coming period need to focus efforts to select the appropriate candidate measures. This workshop aims to increase the knowledge base on alternative fuels in maritime transport, and as such facilitate discussions and possible decision-making process on the adoption of alternative fuels and low-carbon fuel standards as a possible way to reach this.
This workshop will gather policy makers, IGOs, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ship owners,
shippers, port authorities, NGOs, researchers, and other key stakeholders to interact, share knowledge on best
practice and identify next steps. The outputs will contribute to the global discussion on feasible short-term
measures for the mitigation of GHG emissions from ships. For that reason, the workshop is specifically focused on
alternative fuels in maritime transport, widely considered to be important, but still fairly unexplored in terms of
relevant policies and measures. Within this context, the workshop discussions shall cover:
ZERO CARBON RECORD - On the 4th of May 2012, history was made, as Raphael Domjan, at the helm of a giant of a catamaran powered only by solar panels crossed the finishing line at Monaco to become the first electric boat to sail around the world. MS Tûranor PlanetSolar, known under the project name PlanetSolar, was (@ 2018) the largest solar-powered boat in the world. The vessel was launched on the 31st March 2010, also going into the Guinness Book of World Records. The project was mostly financed by Immo Stroeher, the owner of the boat.
SPEAKERS & TOPICS
Decarbonising Maritime Transport. Presentation by Olaf Merk,
OCEAN CONDITIONER - The SeaVax is a zero carbon vessel designed as a workhorse to clean up marine litter. Once developed the solar and wind powered platform could be the basis of low carbon cargo and passenger ships.
The "Decarbonising Transport in Europe" (DTEU) project aims to help the European Union to achieve its
CO2 reduction ambitions for the transport sector. The project will provide
European policy makers with better quantitative evidence on the actual impact of CO2 mitigation measures. The ITF will develop a suite of advanced models of transport activity in Europe as part of the project. This will allow decision makers to select the most effective policy measures and identify realistic pathways to towards decarbonising transport to 2050.

SINGLE USE PLASTICS - This is just a small sample of the plastic packaging that you will find in retails stores all over the world. A good proportion of this packaging - around 8 millions tons a year, will end up in our oceans, in the gut of the fish we eat, in the stomachs of seabirds and in the intestines of whales and other marine mammals.
