Mitigating the Cost of Empty Container Re positioning through the Virtual Con...CINEC Campus
Empty container re positioning is a fundamental problem faced by the shipping industry. The virtual container yard is a novel strategy underpinning the container interchange between carriers that could substantially reduce this ever-increasing shipping cost. This paper evaluates the shipping industry perception of the virtual container yard using chi-square tests. It examines if the carriers perceive that the selected independent variables, namely culture, organization, decision, marketing, attitudes, legal, independent, complexity, and stakeholders of carriers, impact the efficiency and benefits of the virtual container yard. There are two major findings of the research. Firstly, carriers view that complexity, attitudes, and stakeholders may impact the effectiveness of container interchange and may influence the perceived benefits of the virtual container yard. Secondly, the three factors of legal, organization, and decision influence only the perceived benefits of the virtual container yard. Accordingly, the implementation of the virtual container yard will be influenced by six key factors, namely complexity, attitudes, stakeholders, legal, organization and decision. Since the virtual container yard could reduce overall shipping costs, it is vital to examine the carriers’ perception of this concept.

Taking Stock – 40 years of Industrial Energy AuditsLeonardo ENERGY
Industrial energy audits were amongst the first energy efficiency policy measures developed in response to the oil shocks of the 1970s. Since then they have become enormously popular in industrialised economies. In the EU they are mandatory for large organisations under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive. Developing countries are considering them as they scale up their own climate programmes.
So interest in audits can only grow. But, from a policy-maker’s perspective, do they work? How do they work? How could they work for me? Certainly, in principle, audits are extremely important because they get to the heart of how a company uses energy. But after 40 years, the scientific literature on audits is large and complex and difficult for the non-specialist policy-maker to wade though.
This webinar tell the story of audits in a way designed to cut through this complexity. It recounts the history of audits and sets out why they are important. It sets out some of the main features of successful audit programmes, and, from the practical experience of the speaker, how to go about putting one together. It then considers the main problems with audits and how these can be addressed. Finally the talk will look ahead to see how audits might evolve in the near future.

Sustainability has become an increasingly critical topic as the world recognizes the need to protect our planet and its resources for future generations. Sustainability means meeting our current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It involves long-term planning and consideration of the consequences of our actions. The goal is to create strategies that ensure the long-term viability of People, Planet, and Profit.
Leading companies such as Nike, Toyota, and Siemens are prioritizing sustainable innovation in their business models, setting an example for others to follow. In this Sustainability training presentation, you will learn key concepts, principles, and practices of sustainability applicable across industries. This training aims to create awareness and educate employees, senior executives, consultants, and other key stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, and supply chain partners, on the importance and implementation of sustainability.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts that form the foundation of sustainability within corporate environments.

How to use rating schemes
What’s next and resources
Appendix 1 – How rating schemes create change
Appendix 2 – Case studies
3. Our challenge was to find ways of helping the
shipping industry and its customers to navigate
the growing number of beyond-compliance rating
schemes; to encourage wider adoption of rating
schemes and to improve sustainability
performance in the shipping industry.
Our aim is to provide and improve the transparency and
comparability that enables cargo owners, charterers and
ship owners to integrate sustainability considerations into
commercial decisions, and move towards a more sustainable
shipping industry.
The challenge
4. Summary of the work
stream
Over the last year we have:
• Developed a web-based tool, to help
cargo owners and charterers to
select the rating schemes that most
closely meet their needs
• Produced guidance on how to use
ratings schemes for best effect
• Compiled a series of case studies
that illustrate how rating schemes
are already being used to inform
business decisions
• Imagined what the best rating
schemes will look like in the future
and the positive impacts they could
have on the industry
6. What the research told us
Research by Southampton Solent University identified five
barriers to uptake of sustainable rating schemes:
• Low demand from shipping industry customers, due to lack of
awareness and understanding of how to use of rating
schemes
• Perception of cost and lack of clarity over business benefits to
industry
• No critical mass in the market
• Lack of standardisation in outputs and metrics e.g. CO2, SOx
and NOx
• Lack of alignment between different parts of the shipping
industry
7. What’s important about rating schemes
We want to encourage and facilitate greater transparency of
environmental performance in shipping and promoting the
use of rating schemes supports this because:
• Benchmarking leads to better informed business
decisions and helps establish higher baselines
• Greater uptake and engagement by the shipping industry
and their customers, will lead to the ongoing
development and improvement of rating schemes
• Their effectiveness is currently limited by a number of
factors including awareness and understanding
8. How rating schemes improve business
Sustainability rating schemes are an important means of
both declaring and demanding information about a ship’s
sustainability performance.
Credible benchmarking enables customers to make
informed decisions based on the performance of shipping
lines and vessels.
The primary incentive to join or participate in a rating
scheme is to gain a commercial advantage, for example:
• Meet CSR requirements - particularly cargo owners
• Gain economic incentives – e.g. reduced port fees
• Better terms with banks and insurers
9. How rating schemes create change
The experience of other industries demonstrates how mass
uptake of rating schemes is an effective way of creating change
towards sustainability.
• LEED and BREEAM have continued to push sustainable
building performance standards beyond the regulatory
minimums for 20 years
• The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has recognised and
rewarded sustainable fishing practices as well as raising
awareness with consumers
• The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes the
responsible management of the world’s forests
See Appendix 1 for more details
11. The search and compare tool
The web-based tool we have developed simply helps cargo
owners, charterers and ship owners to compare and select
from the rating schemes currently available to them on the
basis of objective criteria.
12. Vessel Type
Many schemes cover more
than one vessel type, while
others specialise in rating just
specific vessel types.
13. Benchmarking scope
The scope of schemes varies.
Those included so far, rate:
• CO2
• NOx
• SOx
• Particulate matter (PM)
• Water and waste
• Chemical use
14. Transparency and
verification
Some schemes require data to
be verified by a 3rd party. Other
schemes are themselves
independently verified. Many
publish their methodology and
some also make results
available.
15. Geography
Many of the schemes are
global, some are only available
for regional operators and
others are locally specific.
16. Performance
Some ratings are based
primarily on the performance of
a ship during operation.
Others use the design
characteristics of a vessel to
predict performance.
17. Metrics and Outputs
There is a variety of rating
methodology and scoring to
choose from:
• Step ratings where ship or
service performance is
banded
• Absolute data e.g.CO2 per
tonne/km
• Scoring framework based
on a weighted averages
• Straight forward pass or fail
19. Identifying schemes and how to use them
As there is no single rating scheme that is perfect for
everyone, each scheme represents a balance between
accuracy and simplicity of assessment, as well as
applicability to different sectors. To help users make
informed decisions we have developed:
• Some detailed guidance notes for cargo owners and
charterers when using and interpreting a rating scheme
• A series of case studies to illustrate how to get the most
from rating schemes
20. Understanding rating schemes
Link to Guidance for Users
Our guidance notes have been developed to help identify
the key issues when choosing a rating scheme and use the
Search and Compare tool to select the right rating scheme
for individual needs.
21. Making the most from rating schemes
More in Appendix 2 and in detailed case studies.
23. What next…
• We are exploring how to extend the uptake of rating
schemes and drive continuous improvement in standards
across the shipping industry
• We hope our independent guidance will contribute to an
increase in the uptake of rating schemes and demand for
transparency from logistics managers and charterers
• We recognise the need for leadership in this area; many
of the SSI members already use rating schemes and are
keen for others to adopt them
24. Future developments
As rating schemes develop and uptake increases we would like
to see:
• External alignment to make comparison possible by aligning
metrics, weighting and data format
• Credible metrics based on evidence that is relevant for
shipping companies and cargo owners, and better still globally
agreed
• Transparent weighting criteria is essential if impacts are to
be convincingly valued and compared
• Proper use of performance data will ensure users reward
best performance
• Reliable governance by reputable rating schemes will involve
all relevant stakeholders
25. Remaining challenges and barriers
In the short term:
• SSI members need to sign up to and use rating schemes
themselves
• The SSI has a role to play in promoting rating schemes in
principle and the online tool specifically
• All rating schemes could benefit from greater collaboration
and alignment
• There is still a lack of demand and awareness of rating
schemes among the key audiences – namely the charter
market and shipping customers/cargo owners
• We would like to see the sustainability of ships, routes, and/or
fleets incorporated into procurement decisions made by
logistics managers, charterers and shipping agents

28. Rating buildings
BREEAM and LEED are both primarily used to assess the
design of new buildings and provide an easy to understand
sustainability rating.
These two global schemes are the market leaders for
sustainability benchmarking in the built environment.
• LEED originated in the US in 1993
• BREEAM originated in the UK in 1990
Both are voluntary schemes and have been highly
successful at pushing building performance beyond
regulatory minimum levels.
29. Rating buildings
Twenty years since their inception
• There are over 250,000 BREEAM and LEED rated
buildings worldwide
• And more than 1m more planned
How do they work
• Assess building designs based on factors including
energy, water use, waste etc.
• Results are combined to give a ‘weighted average’ score
for the building – Pass, Good, Very Good and Excellent
for BREEAM, and Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum for
LEED
30. Lessons learned - being “Good Enough”
Similar to many of the ship rating schemes available today,
BREEAM used the tools and metrics available to them when it
launched in 1990. Some of these - including the energy
calculations – were controversial, causing some concern to
architects and engineers who considered their buildings were not
being assessed accurately. However, for the Planning
Authorities, building purchasers and occupants who wanted to
know about sustainability of their buildings, the level of accuracy
was considered sufficient for them to start demanding BREEAM
assessed buildings, thereby driving uptake of the scheme by the
industry, and forcing even reluctant developers and designers to
engage with the scheme.
31. Lessons learned – allowing for
improvement over time
Increased industry uptake of BREEAM provided the
credibility and finance for BREEAM to continue to engage
with the industry, and progressively improve metrics and
methods over time.
Had BREEAM waited until ideal metrics were in place prior
to launch, it is arguable that the scheme would have failed
to achieve the market penetration gained by meeting
market demand with a scheme that was ‘good enough’
rather than perfect.
32. Lessons learned – engaging the market
Initial demand for BREEAM was driven by Planning
Authorities who wanted a simple way of ensuring that new
buildings met a minimum standard of sustainability – and
UK Government clients, who mandated that all Government
occupied buildings would be required to achieve BREEAM
Very Good (now Excellent). This enabled demand for
BREEAM to reach beyond the ‘environment conscious’
developer, by providing the commercial incentive of access
to lucrative government contracts
