The shipping industry is at a crucial turning point. Increasing industry momentum, heightened IMO ambitions and technological advancements are accelerating the push toward decarbonisation, underlining the need for sector wide collaboration and action.
Shell Marine’s technical report: Decarbonising Shipping: LNG’s Pathway to Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions, explores how LNG, bio-LNG and e-LNG can support the shipping industry’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050 and provides critical...
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...

With the conclusion of the latest session of its Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 83) the International Maritime Organization (IMO) says that it has achieved another step towards establishing a legally binding framework to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships globally, aiming for net-zero emissions by or around, i.e close to 2050.
The IMO Net-zero Framework is the first in the world to combine mandatory emissions limits and GHG pricing across an entire industry sector.

The latest FOBAS Fuel Insight Report highlights rising biofuel uptake, ongoing issues with off-specification fuels and the impact of new regulatory measures.
The latest analysis from Lloyd’s Register’s Fuel Oil Bunkering Analysis and Advisory Service (FOBAS) highlights a significant increase in biofuel usage, primarily driven by EU and IMO regulations, including the Mediterranean SOx (Sulphur Oxides) Emission Control Area (SECA) coming into effect on 1 May 2025.
The FOBAS Fuel Quality Report...
How much closer are we to IMO GHG reduction regulations that include putting a price on ships’ GHG emissions? Following a week of discussions by an IMO working group, Guy Platten, secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), emphasized the need for urgent progress ahead of the critical IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 83) session in April.
“While ICS is broadly satisfied with the progress made on a radical new package of global GHG reduction regulations,...
