dc.description.abstractShipping plays a significant role in today’s global trade and stands out from other transport modes with its high capacity and low cost. Even though the overall emissions from international shipping are low compared to other modes of transport, they account for 3% of global carbon dioxide emissions. To mitigate this, the International Maritime Organization on behalf of the United Nations are constantly developing rules and regulations pushing the industry towards a more environmentally sustainable direction. One of the latest is the Carbon Intensity Indicator, which rates ships based on their annual carbon intensity. This study was performed to investigate how companies in the container shipping industry have adapted to the regulations as well as what challenges and issues they have encountered. Contact and interviews with representatives from container shipping lines showed both similar and different strategies, suggesting that there are several ways to approach the rules. The study presents operational adjustments such as reducing vessel speed to decrease emissions as a prevalent strategy to decrease both emissions and costs. As most ships today are running on fossil fuels, a transition to alternative fuels is high on the agenda but comes with uncertainties such as limited supply and high costs. The research shows that the calculation used to determine a ship's rating is considered inadequate in some respects, mainly due to its theoretical nature, making it possible to manipulate in some instances.
