IMO proceeds with GHG strategy

The work to deliver the IMO initial strategy on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships has moved forward with the approval of a programme of follow-up actions.

The International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 73) approved the follow-up programme on Monday (22 October). It is intended to be used as a planning tool in meeting the timelines identified in the initial IMO strategy, which was adopted in April 2018.

The initial strategy refers to a range of...
