| Comment |
Maersk Line is pleased to express support for the proposal by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District to establish a Vessel Speed Reduction incentive program using cap-and-trade auction funds. Vessel speeds have very significant impacts on vessel fuel consumption and the resulting emissions. I first met with the District and other stakeholders in Santa Barbara in February 2012 to share information from the shipping industry perspective and learn more about their concerns on greenhouse gas emissions, criteria pollutants and protecting whales. Since then I have spoken with District staff several times to assist them in development of a workable program. We will continue to work with the District to provide insights and input as this program develops, and anticipate participating. A letter of support is attached. |
