Dutch and Belgian shipowners call for clear signal from IMO: decide now on the route to zero

Next week, the 80th meeting of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (which focuses specifically on climate and environmental challenges related to international shipping) will take place in London. The main item on the agenda is the review of the IMO GHG strategy. Belgian and Dutch shipowners’ associations RBSA and KVNR make a compelling appeal to IMO member states to achieve a net zero target for Green House Gas emissions from international shipping by 2050: a 100% reduction across the entire value chain from well to wake.
