Shenzhen, China - Green Shipping Incentive Scheme
The Shenzhen Municipal Government, China, has announced an incentive scheme to encourage vessels to switch to low sulphur fuels or to connect to shore power whilst berthed at the region’s ports.
Applied on a voluntary basis, the incentive scheme will consist of rebates to vessel operators thought to be in the region of 75-100% of the cost difference between low sulphur fuel and heavy fuel oil. Vessels connecting to shore power will be charged RMB 0.7/kWh (approximately 11 US¢/kWh at today’s rate), with the remainder subsidised by the government.
The incentive scheme will take effect from October 2014 and it is understood that it will run for three years.
The announcement also revealed that the Shenzhen Municipal Government is working with the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Chinese Central Government with a view to establishing a sulphur emission control area covering the Pearl River Delta by 2018.
