Recommendation 22
22
Paragraph: 168
IMO existing ship efficiency standards lack ambition; more stringent UK approach offers benefits.
Conclusion
IMO standards for existing ship efficiency provide progressively more stringent measures to require the existing fleet to reduce its emissions. Current measures have been criticised for a lack of ambition. While the amendments to the MARPOL Convention currently being contemplated at the IMO may further ratchet up efficiency requirements, there are potential emissions benefits to be gained from a more stringent UK approach.
