“INTERCARGO supports IMO in approving GHG measures next week”
Ahead of the important International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (MEPC 75), which will take place on 16-20 November 2020, INTERCARGO supports the IMO in approving the new mandatory measures that were developed by the 7th session of the Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions (GHG) from Ships (ISWG-GHG 7) on 19-23 October 2020.
These new measures deliver a dual approach, addressing both the technical and operational actions to equip the world merchant fleet to deliver the industry’s GHG commitments. They mark one more major step forward in reducing the carbon intensity of existing ships, on top of the current mandatory energy efficiency requirements in force since 2013.
