The IMO’s proposed global emissions framework would tighten fuel-intensity rules and introduce financial consequences for ships that miss targets, while key design details remain unsettled.
The International Maritime Organization is continuing work on its proposed Net-Zero Framework, a global environmental regime for international shipping. The draft would introduce progressively stricter greenhouse-gas fuel-intensity limits and a financial mechanism for vessels that fail to meet the required standards. The initial scope would cover ocean-going ships above 5,000 gross tonnes, representing more than 85% of international shipping emissions.
