As part of a research and development project, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) has for the first time investigated the influence of the behavioural change of individual seafarers on carbon emissions on selected ships managed by BSM Deutschland (BSMD). Using clean-tech start-up Signol’s app, which is based on behavioural science best practice, remarkable reductions in bunker fuel consumption were detected on single ships.
What is the real impact of noise pollution in ports? Is there anything we can do about it? Many attempts to tackle port noise to date have involved the construction or improvement of physical infrastructure, such as walls and ramps. However, port noise could be more easily mitigated at the source—by using best practices for running engines on ships and vehicles.
