A new package of short-term decarbonisation measures agreed by the International Maritime Organization has come under fire from shipowner bodies.
The J/5 deal at the IMO’s Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions is aimed at helping owners reduce the carbon intensity of shipping by 40% by 2030, as TradeWinds has reported.
Central to the agreed measures is the idea of an Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and a requirement for ships to adopt an enhanced Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan.
