Ban Ki moon has welcomed the steps agreed upon by the IMO to address GHG emissions from shipping including: efforts to limit sulphur emissions; a mandatory data system for fuel consumption; strengthened implementation of energy-efficiency regulations; and a road map for developing by 2023 a comprehensive IMO strategy

MEPC 70 decided that ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above will have to collect consumption data for each type of fuel oil they use, as well as other, additional, specified data including proxies for transport work. The data collected will provide a firm basis on which future decisions on additional measures, over and above those already adopted by IMO, can be made.
