Heads of seven shipping associations have called for the IMO to adopt its Net-Zero Framework (NZF) at the crucial vote in October. Anything else would be a major setback for the green transition and risk leaving the industry with a complicated patchwork of regional climate regulations.
Next week the 176 members of the IMO will convene in London to formally adopt the historic agreement on binding climate regulation of the shipping industry agreed upon in April.
Danish Shipping along with six other shipping associations calls for the adoption of the IMO Net-Zero Framework. The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and European Shipowners (ES | ECSA) have also issued declarations of support for the Net-Zero Framework.
“The industry supports the Net-Zero Framework. Binding global regulation is essential for achieving the goal of climate neutral shipping in 2050. We need global regulation and a level playing field. The alternative to the Net-Zero Framework is not zero regulation, as some of the opponents of the agreement may wish for, but rather a complicated patchwork of regional and national regulations, which is entirely the wrong answer for a global industry,” said Anne H. Steffensen, CEO of Danish Shipping.
