Chinese translation of the Annual Review 2020. 年度报告 - 海上英雄 《2020年年报》广泛地探讨了ICS在2020年和国际航运领域的工作，包括：应对新冠肺炎疫情对船舶运营的挑战和船员换班困境；航运业在零碳排放方面的努力；打击猖獗的西非海盗和处理持续的地中海移民危机；成功支持IMO 2020硫限量的实施和讨论修改IMO《船舶压载水公约》；捍卫全球污染责任制度；以及推动对《海员培训、发证和值班标准国际公约》中有关海员培训标准的基本审查。
The Review explores, in depth, the significant issues faced by the industry in 2020, including: The impact of COVID-19 and the intensifying crew change crisis – COVID-19 related restrictions on travel and the ability to rotate crew, leaving 400,000 seafarers stranded at sea. Efforts to decarbonise shipping, including the ongoing negotiations at the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the radical industry proposal for a USD 5 billion fund to accelerate the R&D of zero-carbon technologies.
Ships often operate in difficult sea conditions which present a high degree of physical risk and despite tremendous improvements to the industry’s safety performance, it has not, yet been possible to eradicate, maritime casualties completely.

Graph to show the Oil consumed per hour by a ship on average and how this has varied over time
The amount of oil spilled by ships varies from year to year and figures for a particular year can be distorted by a single large incident. However, in general terms, shipping has shown a marked downward trend in the amount of oil spilled each year.
The shipping industry is a small contributor to the total volume of atmospheric emissions compared to road vehicles and air transport (see graph below) as well as public utilities such as power stations, and atmospheric pollution from ships has reduced in the last decade.
Ambitious IMO targets to cut all GHG emissions by 2050, due to be revised upwards in 2023,will require a fourth revolution in shipping propulsion, based on new fuels and technology
Findings reflect the industry’s ongoing efforts to decouple trade and emissions growth / Governments must get behind the adoption of the international R&D fund proposal submitted to the IMO last year.
