Abstract
⺠We investigate the effects of economy of scale for reduction of GHG emissions from shipping. ⺠Model includes both cost and emission as function of vessel size and type. ⺠Model is based on operational patterns as of today for the different vessel types and sizes. ⺠Comparison is based on actual 2007 tonnages and foreseen 2050 levels of trading. ⺠Results shows that emissions can be reduced by 25%-30% at a negative abatement cost.
