The IMO has adopted a draft amendment to Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention approving a Net-Zero shipping policy framework by or around 2050. Set to take effect in 2028, the “J9 Bridge” style scheme as it is known, sets out a two-tiered carbon pricing mechanism & fuel standard, which if adopted late this year, will make shipping the first industry of any to have a global carbon price agreed with internationally mandated emissions reduction targets.
Beyond Freight
Transparency is key to reducing emissions.
Our powerful web-based carbon tracking, reporting and estimating tool provides precise real-time monitoring and highly accurate predictions on vessels’ operational greenhouse gas emissions. The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance and amplify emissions data. The easy to use platform allows users to stay on top of and manage their exposure to emissions.
