Abstract: Air pollution is the most relevant externality of maritime transport and its effects are more acute in urban areas. As Short Sea Shipping (SSS) services call ports frequently and expend significant time in port, both the overall turnaround time and the port city closeness, become critical in their sustainable performance. This paper analyses the impact of maritime transport
on Spanish SSS ports and identifies the ideal ones, reflecting the differences in their sustainable performance and finally identifying the characteristics that a harbour needs to gather in order to minimize air pollution impact in the maritime transport sector.
MARPOL Annex VI seeks a progressive reduction in SOx emissions limiting the sulphur content in marine fuel oils. The actual sulphur

Transport & Environment, Seas at Risk and Carbon War Room are urging the IMO not to withhold data on ship efficiency and fuel consumption. The call for action follows moves by some industry groups to undermine initiatives at the IMO and EU level that would make efficiency performance publicly available and require ships to report and publicize their energy efficiency data.
In submissions to the IMO’s environment committee (MEPC), Transport & Environment (T&E) and Seas at Risk (SAR) – both members of the Clean Shipping Coalition – have drawn on research by the University of Gothenburg which states that transparency is essential if the industry is to reduce its GHG emissions and develop a sustainable low-carbon future. The study prepared by Jessica

Wärtsilä is delivering several scrubbers a month in the lead up to the ECA regulations entering into force in Europe in 2015. It is now too late to start and finish an installation project by the end of the year, but this delivery rate is more likely to pick up than to abate.
“The main argument for scrubbers is that you get a cost saving compared to switching to gas oil inside ECAs, and we initially thought that the financial argument would be the only driver,” says Sigurd Jenssen, director, EGC at Wärtsilä Environmental Solutions. Jenssen had underestimated the importance some shipowners place on their environmental reputation. Wilhelmsen, for example, is installing scrubbers on ROROs that work worldwide and therefore
