IMO Initial GHG Strategy and boat design

Hi all

I am new to the forum, and please do delete this if this is not allowed.

I am a final year masters student and I am looking at the maritime industry in relation to the changes needed to achieve the IMO Initial GHG Strategy:

1. At least a 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 and pursuing efforts towards a 70% reduction by 2050, both compared to 2008 levels.
2. Peak GHG emissions from international shipping as soon as possible and reduce them by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels while pursuing efforts towards phasing them out consistent with the Paris Agreement temperature goals.
3. New phases of the EEDI, to be reviewed within MEPC

I am interested in researching the different strategies and technologies that can be adopted now and into the future to achieve these targets. I do understand that currently these targets only apply to larger vessels, but some industries and individuals adopt similar as either a way to improve their attractiveness to clients, or as a reflection of personal beliefs.

I have a short, anonymous, survey that I would be really appreciative if anyone here could complete, or if you at least had any pointers of good places to send it to that would be really amazing.
