Francesco Sandrelli, Policy Director – Environment at the UK Chamber of Shipping, emphasizes that while the maritime industry has made strides in decarbonization, there's more to be done. A robust CII framework can encourage vessels to maximize energy efficiency, reducing reliance on new fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

IBIA has made an assessment of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) operational energy efficiency rating for ships, highlighting that ''initial findings indicate a clear problem for bunker vessels to comply with limited scope for enhancing the operational energy efficiency to achieve the required C rating''.  

Seas At Risk urges the EU to lead the way in decarbonisation efforts as the IMO negotiates to reduce shipping’s environmental impact. By leveraging the collective strength of its Member States, the EU can set a powerful example, showing the need for unified action to achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets.

As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC 81) gets underway, the Clean Arctic Alliance urged IMO member states to agree to creation of new areas in the Arctic which will be protected from polluting air emissions from shipping.

Ahead of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 81, March 18-22), environmental NGOs are calling on the IMO to take action in reducing shipping emissions.

Transport & Environment (T&E) assesses how much energy efficiency needs to be improved and how much green fuel uptake should happen by 2030, 2040 and 2050 for the IMO to meet its climate targets.

Five environmental NGOs have issued an open letter to the European Commission, to include the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) in the EU Port State Control Directive. 

During the 2023 SAFETY4SEA Singapore Forum, Capt. Satinder Virdi, Principal Consultant, Head of Research and Development, Maritime Advisory, DNV Singapore Pte. Ltd. gave a presentation on the future of MARPOL regulations. His presentation included a thorough exploration of compliance strategies, shedding light on the various options available to the industry.

As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Construction (SDC 10) opens today in London, the Clean Arctic Alliance is calling on the maritime sector to reduce the impact of underwater noise from shipping on Arctic wildlife.

The shipping industry is facing an increase in new regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Union (EU) and an increase in the urgency to decarbonise.
