Regulation of International Shipping by the IMO Sample Clauses

Regulation of International Shipping by the IMO. Since the mandate was given to IMO by the Kyoto protocol, both the organization and its member states have made attempts to limit GHG emissions from international shipping (Xxxxxxxx, 2012; Lister et al., 2015). In fact, the work of the IMO in regulating GHG emissions from international shipping officially began when IMO member states adopted the Resolution 8 on CO2 emissions from ships at the MARPOL Conference. This resolution entreated the IMO to commence a study on GHG emissions from ships and consider realistic XX0 xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx (Xxx, 0000x). The study discovered that shipping contributed 1.8% of the world’s total CO2 emissions in 1996 (Skjølsvik et al., 2000). Therefore, the study, after careful evaluations of policy alternatives available to limit GHG in the maritime sector, proposed the following strategy for policy implementation:  Explore the interests for entering into voluntary agreements on GHG emission limitations between the IMO and the ship owners, or to use environmental indexing.  Start working on how to design emission standards for new and possibly also for existing vessels.  Pursue the possibilities of credit trading from additional abatement measures implemented on new and possibly also on existing vessels (Skjølsvik et al., 2000:9) Again, the IMO Assembly in 2003 adopted a resolution (A.963 (23)) on IMO policies and practices related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships (Xxxxx et al., 2017; Shi, 2016b). This resolution implored the MEPC to develop legally binding measures to limit GHG emissions from international shipping.25 Subsequently, the IMO through its MEPC meetings have been negotiating and discussing these issues. The work and discussions of the IMO on the issue at hand has followed three main directions market-based measures, technical measures and operational xxxxxxxx (Xxx, 0000x). Both the technical and operational measures are energy efficiency-based.
