Thirteen companies have signed up to a new Global Industry Alliance, officially inaugurated on June 29 with the aim to support transitioning shipping and its related industries towards a low carbon future, IMO announced.

The United Nations issued an article dedicated to IMO's role in establishing sustainable shipping with environmentally friendly measures. The article provides an overview of IMO's work towards the sustainable use of the oceans.

Under its GloMEEP project, IMO conducted a training workshop in Panama City, Panama, on 25-26 April for maritime educators, so that they introduce the topic of energy-efficient ship operation into their teaching curriculums.

IMO continues to work on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, this time with a train-the-trainer course on energy-efficient ship operation, realized in Mumbai, on 28 February – 3 March, under GloMEEP project. The course trained maritime officials to the complex technical and regulatory aspects designed to make shipping greener.

Dr. Edmund Hughes, Head of Air Pollution and Energy Efficiency, Marine Environment Division of International Maritime Organization (IMO), talks about IMO’s efforts to combat GHG emissions from shipping, highlighting that industry needs to continue to support the Organization in formulating global regulations towards a more sustainable future.

Under its GloMEEP project, IMO continues to promote energy-efficient ship operations, this time in Philippines. A workshop taking place in Manila on 23-24 February is equipping 30 maritime educators from across the country with the knowledge to introduce the topic of ship energy-efficiency into their teaching curriculums.

Maritime educators in China are the first to undergo a newly developed course designed to assist maritime training institutes to introduce the topic of energy-efficient ship operation into their teaching curriculums.

Three new guides that will support States to effectively implement IMO efficiency measures for shipping have been rolled out during a training under the IMO GloMEEP Project, paving the way for further work in climate change mitigation by the maritime sector.

A three-day “MARPOL Annex VI and Technology Transfer” workshop took place in Durban, South Africa during 23-25 August. The workshop raised awareness of the Organization’s regulatory regime dealing with improving energy efficiency and the control of GHG emissions from ships.

International Maritime Organization (IMO) has launched a website for GloMEEP energy efficiency project.
