Abstract:
International shipping is an important emitter of greenhouse gases. The International
Maritime Organization (IMO) is discussing different approaches to reduce maritime CO2
emissions, in particular market-based mechanisms. In this paper, we assess potential
implications of a maritime emission trading scheme (ETS) on the organisation and
operations of shipping companies, primarily on the basis of a case study involving ship
operators. Our results suggest that there is no knock-out criterion why a cap-andtrade
approach should not work in the shipping sector in practice. A maritime ETS has
the potential to engage this sector into cost-efficient emission reduction if designed to
account for the special characteristics of the international shipping industry.
