Harilaos N. Psaraftis received the Maritime Economics and Logistics Palgrave MacMillan-Springer Best Conference Paper Award at the IAME 2019 conference in Athens, Greece for the paper "Speed optimization vs speed reduction: are speed limits better than a bunker levy?". IAME stands for the International Association of Maritime Economists. The paper appeared in the December 2019 issue of Maritime Economics and Logistics. The purpose of the paper was to shed some light into the
speed limit debate, and specifically whether reducing speed by imposing a speed limit is better than doing the same by imposing a bunker levy. The debate is relevant at the
International Maritime Organization (IMO), in the quest to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. The main result of the paper was that the speed limit option exhibits a number of deficiencies as an instrument to reduce GHG emissions, at least vis-à-vis the bunker levy option.
