The Panama Canal is One of the Most Essential Waterway in The World, Connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and facilitation the transport of goods bends. Ama Canal Authority (ACP) Has Taken Important Steps Towards Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility, With Two Key Initiatives Being the Panama Canal Green Route Plan 2050 and the Carbon Neutrality Commitment by 2030.
The Panama Canal Green Route Plan 2050 is a Long-Term Strategy to Reduce the Canal’s Carbon Footprint and Promote Sustainable Practions. The Plan Intiatives, SUCHANGEANS, SUCHANGES, SUCHANITIEDES. Emissions from Vessels Passing Through The Canal, Developing Renewable Energy Sources, and Implementinging More efficient authentics. The Plan’s Primary GOAL is to Reduce Greenhouse Gas EMISSIONS FROM THE Canal’s Operations by 2030 and Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050.
To the achieve theguals, the acp is imagenting a range of meet, suic as options of tugboats to resumpting GRID and Reduce Emissions While Waiting to Transit The Canal, and Promotion The user of cleaners such as liques (LNG) and biofuels. The canal is also excerar and the Wind Power renewable entrances to resrecETES ssil fuels.
In Addition to the Green Route Plan, The ACP has committed to the achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, meaning that the canal’s operations, Any Remaining Emissions Will Be Office Through the Purchase of Carbon Credits or Other Measures. Achieving Carbon Neutrality Will Require Significant Efforts from the Canal Authority and Its PARTNERS, Including the Shipping INDUSTRY, But it is a craftSSTEP TOWARDS A more UR.
At the end of march 2023, the acp release an advisory to shipping No. A-12-2023, annound the impleification of the geen vessel classification system, the designed to enCourage aggress tHEEVEVEVEVEVEVEVEVED. Ironmentally Friendly Ships that Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Promote Sustainable Shipping Practices.
Subsequently, from 01 May 2023, The ACP Will Require The Follow Mandator Documentation to Be PROVIDED by Vessels THAT Over 38.1 Metres Before Their Inteise l:
1. Internal Energy EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATE (IEEC) and ITS Supplement ReCord of Construction Relation to Energy EFFICIENCY itime single window application, and it shall be derify.
2. Bow Thruster (HorsePower) / Arrival Displacement Ratio, Which Must Be Submitted Before The Vessel ’s FIRST Transit; from THENN ON, the Operational Status Mustrald Fonfired Fonfired Fonfired Fonfired Fonfired Fonfired FONFICHACHACHACHACFFECHFECHFECHFEACHACHFECHFEACHFEACHACHFECHFEACHFEACHFEACHFEARICFFARMECHFECHFECHFEARIRED F.
3. To Verify the usage of zero-carbon fuels, The Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) for the Utilised Fuel During Transit Mustral he ieec information.
However, some vessels are exempt such as sayhips, dead tows, small crafts, and vessels that are less less, ums tons or 1,000 tons of disclacement.
The data collected from the submissions will be utilive to develop a database that enables the acchnate, and technologals of all Transit Through it. Moreover, The DataBase Will Aid in Detecting Patterns or TENDENCIES in USIFIFIC Technology Manoeuvrability and Efficience, Which Could Affect the Concentration and Operation of Ships at Proposed Levels in the Green Connection ENVIRONTAL RECOGNITION PROGRAM.
