00:00 What is the impact of container shipping on global emissions?
00:06 Container shipping is just 10% of the world's shipping.
00:11 Bulk is like 60-70% and it actually has the bigger potential to save emissions.
00:21 What is the impact of container shipping on global emissions?
00:23 Container shipping already works with slot time.
00:26 They have plans. They are really bad at keeping the plans,
00:30 but they have plans and they need to be better to re-plan,
00:34 which information sharing is really good for re-planning.
00:38 But bulk shipping has a different model.
00:41 They don't have a slot time.
00:43 They have a model where it says, "First come, first serve."
00:47 They race towards the port and the one who didn't finish first have to wait.
00:53 So it's a hurry up and wait business, which is not very good for the environment.
01:00 What is unique in Gävle is they are doing this for the bulk shipping,
01:06 because bulk shipping traditionally works with first come, first serve.
01:11 But breaking this and changing the whole structure of the bulk shipping industry,
01:17 Gävle is first in the whole world doing this.
