FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dallas, TX, January 19, 2021- Brian Ladin, the founder of Delos Shipping, explains how his company is making an effort to reduce its carbon footprint.
In the past, ships were fueled by coal, which caused air pollution thus making them more hazardous than land-based transportation. These new petroleum powered and battery powered vessels have a ton of benefits and have helped to protect the environment.
“Petroleum was more efficient, released fewer toxins into the air, powered larger vessels, and was far easier to resupply to ships at sea,” says Brian Ladin. “Petroleum has allowed shipping to remain one of the largest trading resources in the world, transporting approximately 80% of the world’s commodities.”
The International Maritime Organization and the United Nations have set forth regulations that mandate the levels of toxins that are emitted from these larger vessels. The battery-powered ships would accommodate the new regulations on emissions.
More and more companies are considering this transition from petrol to electricity though they are still facing challenges like making the batteries last and being able to recharge them while at sea.
“Japan, for example, is set to launch their first emission-free, electric cargo ship by 2021,” says Ladin. “The ship will run off electricity stored in massive batteries. Other ship manufacturers are joining the fray for battery-powered vessels, including Kongsberg Gruppen ASA (Norway) and Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc (England).”
In addition to the switch to petroleum, battery, and hybrid systems, these companies are making a promise to low carbon emissions.
“For the amount of carbon emissions that a company’s shipping produces, that company will invest financial resources (credits) in projects that reduce an equal amount of greenhouse gases, thus offsetting those carbon emissions,” says Ladin. “In effect, Delos Shipping’s (and other companies) efforts to purchase carbon offset credits essentially cancels out the company’s carbon emissions. The end result is that the company becomes carbon neutral.”
This, however, is not the only thing that Brian Ladin is doing to make a difference in lowering the amount of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. By 2050, he would like to see these greenhouse gas emissions cut in half. Designs for pure electric ships and hybrids are already in the works.
