Under the collaboration of Shanghai Maritime Pilot’s Association, MTCC-Asia disseminated two pilot project’s result to seafarers on ships via Shanghai Port pilots. Two pilot projects, i.e. Uptake of ship energy efficient technologies and operations (PP EE) and Ship fuel oil consumption data collection and reporting (PP DC), are one of the most important components enshrined in the IMO-EU Joint Project: Capacity Building for Climate Mitigation in the Maritime Shipping Industry.

The overall purpose of implementing PP EE determined by MTCC-Asia is included to promote the awareness of implementing the mandatory requirements on ship technical and operational measures for the uptake of energy efficiency and facilitate the ships to effectively implement the mandatory requirements on ship technical and operational measures for the uptake of energy efficiency. Likewise, the overall purpose of implementing PP DC determined by MTCC-Asia is to promote the awareness of implementing the IMO mandatory requirements on ship fuel oil consumption data collection in the shipping industry, support the region to effectively implement the IMO mandatory requirements on ship fuel oil consumption data collection and facilitate the ships to effectively implement the mandatory requirements on ship fuel oil consumption data collection and reporting.

Over 100 thousand of sets of data has been successfully collected from 15 demonstration ships (5 container ships, 5 bulk carriers and 5 oil tankers, respectively) by MTCC-Asia during the two-year implementation of two pilot projects. The outputs including the guideline (printed and electronic versions), quick guidance (printed and electronic versions), video, E-reporting system and a USB stick which stores all of these outputs are produced based on the efforts and supports from over 120 shipping stakeholders. All of the outputs are to be delivered to seafarers on board in order to share the outputs of pilot projects with the shipping industry as much as possible.
