Japanese shipping company Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K Line) is aiming for a tougher interim emissions target than that set by the IMO 2030 strategy, the company said Tuesday.
K Line will seek to cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 50% from 2008's levels by 2030, compared with the 40% target set by the International Maritime Organization, it said in a statement on its website.
"K Line will continue to research and develop best solution including new technologies toward goal for GHG zero emission," the company said.
