IMO Environment Committee approves amendments to cut ship emissions
Draft amendments to the MARPOL convention would require ships to combine a technical and an operational approach to reduce their carbon intensity.
Draft new mandatory regulations to cut the carbon intensity of existing ships have been approved by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), meeting in virtual session from 16-20 November 2020..
This builds on current mandatory energy efficiency requirements to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping.
