IMO objects to EU shipping emissions trading

While several pricing options are still being considered, there’s a growing sense that a consensus is forming around a flat or universal GHG pricing mechanism.

The ICS acknowledges strong support for a universal GHG contribution but recognizes concerns from countries like China and Brazil on emissions pricing.

The 10th session of the IMO CCC from 16-20 September 2024 advanced guidelines for alternative fuels, safety regulations, and container loss prevention.

Shipping companies, cargo owners, NGOs and industry bodies call for a level playing field and practical solutions from the IMO’s mid-term GHG reduction measures.

The Cargo Integrity Group is urging governments to fully report container inspection findings to the IMO.

Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary General of the IMO, urged the global maritime industry not to lose faith in the IMO.
