IMO to develop updated plan for shipping greenhouse gas emissions cut

An International Maritime Organization (IMO) working group has gone forward in developing the draft 2023 IMO Strategy on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships.

The meeting of the Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships lasted four days, from 20 to 24 March, with more than 750 registered participants from nearly 80 IMO Member States.

The topics of discussion were proposals relating to potential amendments to the IMO ship fuel oil consumption Data Collection System (DCS).

More specifically, in view of its heavy workload, the group recommended that further consideration of proposed draft amendments to the DCS should be undertaken by the Working Group on Air Pollution and Energy Efficiency.

The Initial IMO Strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships was adopted in 2018.

Finally, the updated and revised Strategy is expected to be adopted by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), which is the decision-making body, at its next 80th session from 3 to 7 July 2023.
