The Port of Rotterdam has joined Friends of the Earth Netherlands in calling for the maritime industry to cut CO2 emissions by 30 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050, compared to 1990 levels. In a joint statement, the two organisations said: "An 80% reduction by 2050 is necessary, according to scientists, if global warming is to be restricted to 2degC, the internationally accepted upper limit. Transport by water is more energy efficient than by land or air. In that sense, it is sustainable. Also, according to expectations, more and more goods will be transported by water in the coming decades. Hence, there is every reason to aim for a powerful reduction in CO2 in shipping."
