TI - Regulatory Trends and Impact: second edition
AU - American Bureau of Shipping
AB - The second edition of Regulatory Trends and Impact provides a comprehensive summary of the regulatory developments from the IMO, including the latest adopted regulations and the ones under discussion that are expected to be adopted. The IMO developments are presented in two main sections: Environmental Protection (including the outcomes of MEPC 81 and MEPC 82). This section highlights the IMO development efforts on greenhouse gas (GHG) strategies and reducing shipping’s carbon intensity. Maritime Safety (including the outcomes of MSC 107 and MSC 108, and the relevant updates of MSC 109 related to the use of ammonia as fuel). This section presents the latest developments on the safety use of alternative fuels and cybersecurity. This publication also summarizes the main regulatory developments at regional and country specific levels. These regional and national regulatory developments are often testbeds for finding solutions that can have global applications in the future but must be accounted for in current vessel operations. The second edition of ABS Regulatory Trends and Impact is current as of December 2024, and ABS will continue to monitor any IMO activities and provide updated guidance to help navigate the regulatory landscape.
