The International Maritime Organization is facing pressure to adopt a series of controversial measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships at an environmental meeting next week.
Environmentalist and some shipping associations have criticised the measures that will be put before the virtual Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting for not going far enough to curb global warming.
But influential IMO member states are asking delegates to consider the measures “with a view to approval” for addition to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (Marpol)’s Annex VI.
