IMO negotiations on the Net-Zero Framework are continuing, with formal adoption reportedly unlikely to be completed until 2027, leaving shipowners uncertain about fuel and compliance investments.
IMO leadership has indicated that negotiations on the global Net-Zero Framework will not conclude with final adoption this year and may continue through 2027. The unresolved issues include which fuels qualify, how lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions should be measured and what economic consequences should apply to ships that fail to meet future requirements.
