How much closer are we to IMO GHG reduction regulations that include putting a price on ships’ GHG emissions? Following a week of discussions by an IMO working group, Guy Platten, secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), emphasized the need for urgent progress ahead of the critical IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 83) session in April.
“While ICS is broadly satisfied with the progress made on a radical new package of global GHG reduction regulations, including a GHG emissions pricing mechanism, much work urgently remains to be done,” he said. “But despite divergence on many issues, it is encouraging that negotiations continue in a positive and cooperative spirit.”
“With only six weeks remaining before the MEPC in April , we remain confident that IMO Member States be able to seal the deal and approve fit for purpose amendments to the MARPOL Convention.
