The UN intends to reduce the speed of ships of international delivery
The United Nations is planning to reduce the maximum speed of international delivery ships by 20%. This is associated with the environmental situation in the world.
A meeting of UN representatives on the issue of reducing the speed of ships engaged in international delivery is scheduled this week. It is assumed that this will affect the cost and delivery time, reports the BBC.
It is noted that UN representatives argue their decision with a deteriorating environmental situation due to the actions of ships. Slowing down will help reduce carbon monoxide emissions in the shipping industry.
The UN is confident that in order to reduce harmful emissions by 50%, it is necessary to introduce a speed limit for container ships over the next 30 years. Many industry representatives do not like this offer.
Environmentalists confirm that reducing ship speed by 20% will reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere by almost 25%, and also reduce noise pollution of the ocean by 75%, which causes whales and other marine life to suffer.
At present, the reduction in ship speed is seen by the UN as a temporary measure. The result of this will allow ecologists to develop long-term solutions to reduce harmful emissions.
