China State Shipbuilding Corp rep urges Beijing to cap ship emissions
CHINA State Shipbuilding Corp (CSCC) senior executive has advised Beijing to set exhaust cap to cut back on NOx and SOx emissions on vessels by offering a tax rebate on greener shipping.
Hu Keyi, CSCC technical director for its subsidiaries Jiangnan Shipyard and Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry Co has submitted a proposal with examples of similar emissions controls making progress in Hong Kong, California, North Sea and Baltic Sea.
The implemention of an ECA-like standard in China's coastal and inland waterfront cities and cruiseships home ports would also require a tax rebate system. This would encourage installation of more onshore power facilities in key ports and the set up of an integrated liquefied natural gas bunker supply chain.
The proposal to Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) ahead of its annual session it runs concurrently with the National People's Congress, has no specific deadline or legislative force, but marks a first of public voice from the shipping and shipbuilding industries in China.
The CPPCC is China's top political advisory body and has a unique membership base of film stars, Olympic medalists, corporate executives, non-ruling parties and ethnic minorities. Of the 2,000-strong membership, 290 are on the Standing Committee.
