This document discusses port call optimization (PCO) and just-in-time arrival (JIT) as ways to reduce emissions from maritime shipping. It notes that maritime shipping is responsible for over 2/3 of global cargo transport but could contribute 17% of human-caused carbon emissions by 2050. It describes PCO and JIT as "soft" changes involving optimized scheduling and vessel speeds that can reduce fuel consumption and emissions without hardware changes. PCO aims to shorten port stays through better coordination and data sharing, while JIT involves vessels arriving at agreed times to avoid unnecessary fuel usage. The document recommends prioritizing these "soft" changes and expanding global standards and adoption of PCO and JIT.

The Maritime Emissions Challenge
Maritime responsible for
over 2/3 of ALL cargo
carried by any mode
anywhere in the world
BUT could contribute 17% of human-caused carbon emissions by 2050.

3. CONAS 3
Ways to address the challenge
 Hardware changes

to vessels
– More efficient engines using traditional fuels
– Alternative fuels (e.g., Hydrogen, Ammonia, Methanol)
– Using wind

to shore
– Shore power (removing need to run engines)
– Storage, handling of alternative fuels
 “SOFT”-ware changes
– Increase utilisation of vessels
> Port Call Optimization
– Ensure vessels don’t burn more fuel than necessary
> Just-In-Time Arrival

How does Port Call Optimisation help?
 Increase utilisation of vessels
– Better coordination of activities, meaning shorter stays in port
– More reliable master data on depth (and other factors) to
enable safe berth-to-berth planning
WHILST CARRYING MORE PAYLOAD.
– This means fewer vessels needed to
meet the increased demand for cargo capacity.
 Highly influential taskforce already exists for nearly 10 years representing
– Appr. half of container shipping
– Over 25% of bulk shipping
– Developing PCO Process and Global Standards
– Large number of endorsers
(e.g., BIMCO, IHO, IAPH, IHMA, Intercargo, OCIMF)

How does Just-in-Time Arrival help?
 Arrive at Pilot Boarding Place (PBP) when availability of berth,
fairway and nautical services are ensured
 Optimise vessel speed to arrive at that agreed place and time
 IMO GIA for Sustainable Shipping described the concept of JIT
see JIT Arrival Guide
 Further study proves JIT can help to significantly reduce the
consumption of bunker fuels. See EERA JIT Arrival report.
 Real-life test are being prepared and running to further advance
adoption of the JIT concept
 Results will be available Q1 2024

Road to zero emissions - Recommendations
 “SOFT”ware changes may deliver impressive results
sooner than hardware changes to vessels and shore facilities.
 Large and influential groups of stakeholders in the industry have been laying
very solid foundation for achieving emission reductions through “SOFT”ware
changes:
– Port Call Optimization (PCO) and
– Just in Time Arrival (JIT Arrival)
– Based on global standards
All countries wanting to improve their ports’ performance should look into
Port Call Optimization and JIT Arrival as part of any major decision making.
