		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to save fuel, money, and reduce carbon emissions, modern cargo ships are reducing their speeds from near 25 knots to as low as 12 or 13 knots, or about 14 mph.  Super-slow steaming, as the practice is known, reduces the speed of cargo boats to less than that of 19th-century clipper ships.  Sailing at these speeds can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and lower fuel consumption, by up to 30%.  This is significant, as cargo ships typically burn immense volumes of low-grade diesel fuel. As the Guardian notes, the Emma Maersk, one of the world’s largest shipping vessels, burned roughly as much carbon as the 30 lowest-emitting countries in the world.  Environmentalist groups have called to make this practice standard regulation, arguing that when the economy rebounds from the recession there is no guarantee super-slow steaming won’t be disbanded.]]></description>
