The International Maritime Organization Sample Clauses

The International Maritime Organization. As with aviation emissions, the Kyoto Protocol suggests that the regulation of emissions from international shipping should be dealt with in another venue, in this case the IMO (Article 2.2). The IMO was established in 1948, initially with a focus on maritime safety, but has covered related areas such as marine pollution from an early stage onwards. The IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee is the primary body responsible for matters relating to environmental pollution from ships while its main governing body is the IMO Assembly. A wide range of treaties has been adopted under the auspices of the IMO, including the binding and successful technology-oriented 1973/1978 International Convention for the 3 xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/environmental-protection/Pages/market-based-measures.aspx. Prevention of Pollution from Ships. Like ICAO, the IMO has also adopted a series of measures to address shipping emissions. Following a series of studies, the organisation’s Marine Environment Protection Committee adopted a mandatory Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships in 2011, and required a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan for all ships. By doing so, the IMO put in place the first mandatory international sectoral agreement on greenhouse gas emissions applying to both developed and developing countries (Bodansky 2011: 7). The measures are expected to yield a significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions, with an IMO study estimating an annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of 13-23 percent compared to business-as-usual between 2020 and 2030 (Bazari and Longva, 2011). However, those technical and operational measures alone are insufficient to meet global objectives (Xxx et al. 2013) and, unlike ICAO, discussions on adopting a market-based mechanism under the IMO have not led to any agreement, with several developing countries questioning the competence of the IMO in this area.
