Commentary on IMO’s Net-Zero Framework & LNG-fuelled vessels

Nick Austin, partner in Reed Smith’s Transportation Industry Group, said:

“As the IMO releases details of how its Net-Zero Framework will operate in its first monitoring year in 2028, it is clear that the devil will be in the detail. Whilst superficially resembling the EU’s focus on well-to-wake GHG intensity in its FuelEU Maritime regulation, the IMO’s approach will be more complicated. It would introduce two tiers of compliance and differential pricing of “remedial units” to ensure vessel...
