Speed Optimization vs Speed Reduction: the Choice between Speed Limits and a Bunker Levy [PDF]
Sustainability, 2019 “Speed optimization and speed reduction” are included in the set of candidate short-term measures under discussion at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in the quest to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. However, there is much confusion on what either speed optimization or speed reduction may mean, and some stakeholders have ...

Speed optimization versus speed reduction: Are speed limits better than a bunker levy? [PDF]
Maritime Economics and Logistics, 2019 The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the speed limit debate, and specifically to look into whether reducing speed by imposing a speed limit is better than achieving the same by imposing a bunker levy. This debate, along with the various issues of speed optimization versus speed reduction, is currently ongoing at the International Maritime
