Responding to the UN Secretary-General’s call for “urgency and ambition” on climate change, the entire global shipping industry is giving “full and unequivocal” backing to a moon-shot proposal submitted by governments, to catalyse the complete decarbonisation of maritime transport by deployment at scale of zero-carbon ships within a decade.
Short and to the point, the BIMCO 180 training seminars are 2 x 90 minutes of focused knowledge delivered online by leading maritime experts. The EU ETS is a cap-and-trade system that requires certain industries, including the maritime sector, to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. The scheme requires all vessels trading to EU ports to monitor and report emissions and, subsequently, its shipping companies to surrender allowances for the GHG emitted by their fleet (in CO 2 eq). These allowances are traded in a market, and the price of the allowances is determined by supply and demand. By trading in allowances, the EU ETS aims to provide a financial incentive for ships to reduce their emissions, as this reduces the cost of having to buy more allowances. This, in turn, encourages owners and operators to use more efficient methods of vessel operation, such as using a lower speed and more efficient propulsion systems or using alternative fuels. The European Union emissions trading scheme is a market-based payment system that EU countries use to buy and sell emissions data and products. The scheme also raises funds for EU public services, such as emissions research, energy metering, and air quality management. Overall, the EU ETS aims to reduce the environmental impact of ships trading to EU ports while at the same time giving operators a financial incentive to reduce their emissions.

The Maritime Safety Committee 103 meeting (MSC 103) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) was held 5 to 14 May 2021. Several important decisions were made that will affect shipowners directly. These include upcoming changes to fire safety systems on board to help prevent fires, as well as changes to the search and rescue manuals on board ships.
