Recommendation 7

Paragraph: 59
Current international shipping emissions allocation method unsustainable for UK policy development.
Conclusion
The current method for allocating international shipping emissions between states appears unsustainable as a basis for making UK policy on international shipping emissions and determining the maximum emissions permissible from the UK’s international shipping in the Sixth Carbon Budget. The International Maritime 58 Net zero and UK shipping Organization has already moved away from the bunker sales measure to a voyage- based measure. This appears to give a more accurate picture of the overall contribution of international shipping activity to GHG emissions worldwide.
