The following and papers have been submitted to the symposium steering committee and approved as of 14 January 2010. As additional papers and presentations are accepted these will be posted. A full set of the text of the papers and power point slides for each presentation will be provided to each attendee at the symposium.
Climate Change Symposium Track on the Energy Efficiency Design Index (1 Paper)
Author / Presenter: Keith Michel, Chairman, Herbert Engineering
Title: An Evaluation of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Baseline (subject to change)
Abstract: A study was conducted by Herbert Engineering Corp and the American Bureau of Shipping to evaluate the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and provide a better understanding of the robustness of the EEDI in encouraging vessel optimization, and to determine whether development of baselines based on existing vessels with limited design data accurately reflects modern design practice. This paper also summarizes some of the findings of that study relative to effectiveness of the EEDI in encouraging design optimization, and also how changes in design characteristics impact the attained EEDI. The primary results of this study have been provided to the International Maritime Organization's MEPC 60 as two documents submitted through IMarEST and reviewed by SNAME's Ad Hoc Panel on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Ship Efficiency.
Climate Change Symposium track on Maritime Economics and Market Based Mechanisms (5 Papers)
Author / Presenter: Dr. Jasper Faber, CE Delft (Netherlands)
Title: A Global Cap-and-Trade Scheme for Maritime Transport
Abstract: The presentation will deal with the following questions:
* How would a cap-and-trade scheme for maritime transport work?
* What are the obligations for ship owners, operators, charterers, flag states and port states?
* What impacts would it have on shipping emissions and industry growth?
* How does it compare to other market based instruments?

Title: US Government Perspective on Market-Based Instruments for International Shipping
Abstract: The U.S. Government believes market-based instruments can help reduce shipping’s impact on the climate system. We wish to share our perspective on potential measures the sector can take.

Title: Marginal Abatement Costs of CO2 Emissions Reduction and Market Based Mechanisms and the Pricing of Credits
Abstract: This paper examines the mitigation or marginal abatement costs for ship owner’s to reduce CO2 emissions or increase energy efficiency on vessels in their fleet and the role of these costs in the pricing of a bunker levy, a ton of CO2 emissions, and energy efficiency credits in three different market based mechanism proposed to the International Maritime Organization. Effective pricing and structuring of the market based mechanisms can minimize costs and reduce emissions in the international maritime sector. An eleven point research plan is presented to develop a methodology to calculate the marginal abatement cost for a ship to meet reduce emissions or increase efficiency for use by ship owners and policy makers.

Title: An Example of Calculating the Marginal Abatement Cost of Employing Technologies and Operational Measures to reduce ship-generated for CO2 Emissions
Abstract: Policy makers and stakeholders have identified a range of near-, medium- and long-term mitigation options that are available to slow the growth of energy consumption and CO2 emissions from marine shipping. While the technologies and operational measures for CO2 reduction potential have been well documented, a full cost accounting of employing these measures is sparse. This paper demonstrates two examples (using available data) of the application of methodologies to calculate the marginal abatement costs of CO2 reduction technologies and operational measures.

Title: Optimizing Energy Efficiencies in the Terminal
Author / Presenter: John Hatley, Americas Vice President Ship Power, Wartsila North America, Inc.

Author / Presenter: Daniel Kane, Co-Founder and Vice Prresident, Propulsion Dynamics
Title: Hull and Propeller Performance Monitoring: Fuel Conservation and Emission Reduction
Abstract: The purpose of the proposed paper is to inform the audience regarding the relevance of Hull and Propeller Performance Monitoring in immediate fuel conservation and emission reduction of Ocean Going Vessels. Hull Performance Monitoring is a topic on the IMO Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan. In addition, the recent Tanker Energy Management Plan (Intertanko) includes the topic of “Propulsion Resistance Management Program,” describing the need for hull and propeller performance monitoring as a key element in minimizing emission through improving fuel efficiency for ships in service. This paper will describe hull and propeller performance monitoring, provide case studies of real ships of various types. The presentation will include an anonymous benchmarking sample of the hull and propeller condition of a sample of the world fleet and conclude with estimations of fuel savings and emission reduction of tankers, bulkers and containerships.
