Just in time ship operations" are very relevant to ship navigation ; do you carry out the whole voyage at a slower speed or do you choose to carry our Port arrival and departure at full speed? It can be very complicated
The IMO is pushing 'Just-In-Time' ship operations as a means of to reduce bunker consumption and their associated emissions.
"Implementing 'Just-In-Time' ship operations means ships receive information in advance so they can time their arrival at the berth. this can also allow ships to slow down, providing further reduction in the carbon footprint of shipping as well as saving fuel costs," IMO explains.
IMO, vis its GloMEEP Global Industry Alliance (GIA), is looking into the operational and contractual barriers to implementing the practice and hopes to identify measures that will make 'Just-In-Time' ship operations a "a global reality"
