The International Maritime Organisation has heeded calls from environmental groups to hold a virtual meeting to discuss decarbonisation regulations.
The London-based regulator said the meeting will be held between 6 and 10 July, and all member states, non-governmental organisations with consultative status, and other United Nations bodies are invited.
Having postponed all of its face-to-face meetings between early March and the end of July due to the Covid-19 crisis, the IMO said the upcoming online discussions will allow for “preliminary exchange views” on proposed rules.
