MEPC 82/6/42: Comments on document MEPC 82/6/1 - Energy Efficiency of Ships

This document provides comments on document MEPC 82/6/1 (Austria et al.) concerning GHG emissions data quality and integrity as a basis for current and future IMO GHG regulatory measures, as well as document MEPC 82/6/17 (Austria et al.) on the possible two-step approach for the review and revision of the short-term measures. CSC strongly supports the ambition to improve data quality, transparency and accessibility of the IMO Data Collection System (DCS). While cognisant of the need for further data collection and assessment of some aspects of the carbon intensity indicator (CII) calculation, CSC argues that existing IMO DCS data is sufficient to already transform the CII from a carbon intensity metric to a truly energy efficiency metric, as well as increase the required reduction factors for the post-2026 period already in the first step of the two-step approach.

Inside Climate News: Pacific and Caribbean Island Nations Call for the First Universal Carbon Levy on International Shipping Emissions

The International Maritime Organization has been asked to enact a carbon levy of $150 per ton of emissions from large freight and passenger ships. The IMO’s 175 member nations have until next year to vote.

Shipping Climate Goals at Risk as IMO Fails to Take Improved Energy Efficiency Seriously

As this week’s International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (IMO, MEPC 82) closed this afternoon, the Clean Shipping Coalition urged the national delegations of countries that support ambitious climate action to properly resource and pick up the pace of negotiations to ensure that shipping’s climate pollution peaks and reduces in line with the IMO’s 2023 GHG strategy, thus curbing the sector’s contribution to the worst impacts of climate breakdown.

Growing Support for Shipping’s Greenhouse Gas Levy and Fuel Standard Must Be Matched By Action On Energy Efficiency During Next Week’s IMO Meeting

Ahead of next week’s International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting, the Clean Shipping Coalition urged national delegations that support ambitious climate action to also insist that the IMO revise its ship efficiency standards to ensure the organisation’s climate targets are met.
