Green Award Offers New Platinum Label for Inland Zero-Emission Vessels
Green Award has announced the launch of a Platinum label for inland ships that operate emission-free.
"Technologies are rapidly developing and technological progress allows yet better performance. Operating with zero emissions is coming closer and offers opportunity to eliminate ship specific emission footprint," explained Green Award.
"Therefore Green Award launches a Platinum label for inland navigation ships that keep abreast of the times and operate several hours a day with zero emissions of CO2, SOx, NOx and PM."
The first inland navigation vessel with zero emissions is expected to be certified under the Platinum label in 2018.
A Platinum label for sea-going ships is also being considered for the Green Award programme in the future.
"Green Award hopes that the Platinum label will be recognized by ports and other incentive providers and rewarded with suitable incentives to further promote emission-free ship operations," said the foundation.
