Introduction: A firm step towards the decarbonization of shipping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The International Maritime Organization (IMO)<\/strong> has taken a historic step by approving a new global regulation to reduce pollutant emissions from shipping<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

This decision, recently adopted within the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), marks the beginning of a roadmap that will oblige ships to meet new targets for energy efficiency, decarbonization and operational sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The agreement reinforces the international maritime sector’s commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement<\/strong> and responds to growing social, institutional and environmental pressure to transform a sector responsible for approximately the 3% of global emissions of greenhouse gases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What does the new IMO regulation establish?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Main objective<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Progressively reduce emissions of CO\u2082, NOx, SOx and particulate pollutants<\/strong> generated by commercial vessels, with a view to achieving carbon neutrality of shipping by 2050<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Actions taken<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  1. Stricter energy efficiency standards (EEDI and EEXI)<\/strong> for new and existing vessels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mandatory implementation of the Carbon Intensity Index (CII)<\/strong>, which will measure annual emissions performance per ton-mile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Annual review of emissions by shipping companies with progressive improvement targets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Incentives and penalties based on IIC compliance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Strengthening technical audits and environmental certifications for all international vessels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    These measures<\/a> will come into force gradually between 2025 and 2030<\/strong>, with ongoing review mechanisms and multilateral monitoring to ensure their effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n

    How does this regulation impact the maritime sector?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
