The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched a two-year global maritime energy efficiency partnership project.
The GloMEEP project, formally designated “Transforming the Global Maritime Transport Industry towards a Low Carbon Future through Improved Energy Efficiency”, aims to support increased uptake and implementation of energy-efficiency measures for shipping, focusing in particular on building capacity and skills to implement technical and operational measures in developing countries, where shipping is increasingly concentrated.
The project supports the development of a low-carbon maritime sector for minimizing the adverse impacts of shipping emissions on climate change, ocean acidification and local air quality.
Ten IMO Member States have already signed up to the GloMEEP project as lead pilot countries (LPCs): Argentina, China, Georgia, India, Jamaica, Malaysia, Morocco, Panama, Philippines and South Africa. The lead pilot countries will be supported in pursuing relevant legal, policy and institutional reforms, driving national and regional government action and industry innovation to support the effective implementation of IMO’s energy efficiency requirements.
A number of events related to the implementation of the GloMEEP project are expected to be held alongside the two-day inaugural Future-Ready Shipping 2015 Conference. For example, the joint IMO-Singapore International Conference on Maritime Technology Transfer and Capacity Building will be held in Singapore on 28-29 September 2015. The conference will gather maritime leaders to discuss ways forward in developing capacities and skills for energy-efficient ship technologies.
The project will also include three regional workshops on “MARPOL Annex VI Enforcement and Port State Control with Specific Reference to Energy Efficiency Regulations”, respectively covering the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia and numerous national workshops offered to the ten LPCs.

In the start, I was forthright with you propecia before and after has changed my being. It has become much more fun, and now I have to run. Just as it is improbable to sit.
