Underwater Radiated Noise Guide
First Edition
£190.00 In stock
This ICS/BIMCO guide enables shipping companies to align with the IMO’s 2023 underwater radiated noise guidelines and help preserve marine life. It explains:
• Sources of underwater radiated noise from ships
• The strong synergies between underwater radiated noise reduction and energy efficiency and the opportunities for co-benefit
• Design and operational measures that are likely to reduce noise levels
• How to develop a noise management plan and put it into practice
An example of a noise management plan is provided for shipowners to use as a functional template. Technical superintendents will find the included operational measures and in-depth discussion on the synergies between energy efficiency and underwater radiated noise reduction particularly valuable. Key information on all known Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSAs) and their regional slow-down regulations are detailed to aid ship officer’s when passage planning.

Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Guide to International Regulatory Compliance
Second Edition
£205.00 In stock
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Guide to International Regulatory Compliance guides shipowners, operators and managers through compliance with the increasingly complex international regulations on reducing GHG emissions. This includes the existing application of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships, Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), Carbon Intensity Indicators (CII) and submission of Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans (SEEMPs).
The interlinked relationship between reducing underwater radiated noise and GHG emissions is detailed, including a new appendix that lists approximately 100 different reduction measures. A brand new chapter focuses solely on the European Union’s new Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), addressing the significant confusion surrounding its application to all ships trading in and out of the European Union. Readers can expect to be better informed on:
• The shipping company’s responsibility under EU ETS
• What voyages are covered by the EU ETS
• What to include on emissions monitoring plans
• How to calculate the amount of allowances owed and more
