Shipping – as one the world’s largest transport sectors – is experiencing major regulatory challenges to achieve the international targets on reducing GHG emissions. This new edition provides a comprehensive overview of all of these complex regulations in one place, guiding readers through compliance with the 2021 amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, the revised 2023 IMO GHG Strategy and the EU’s new Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). 

The EU ETS began to apply to international shipping at the start of 2024 and EU allowances are due to be surrendered by shipping companies in 2025. A brand new chapter in this guide focuses solely on the EU ETS to explain how it currently applies to ships trading in and out of the EU. Readers can expect to be better informed on:

  • The shipping company’s responsibility under the EU ETS 
  • What voyages are covered by the EU ETS 
  • What to include on emissions monitoring plans 
  • How to calculate the amount of allowances owed and more 

The interlinked relationship between reducing underwater radiated noise and GHG emissions is detailed, including a new appendix that lists approximately 100 different reduction measures. 

Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Guide to International Regulatory Compliance also plainly sets out the existing IMO regulations. Specifically, the application of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships, Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), Carbon Intensity Indicators (CII) and submission of Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans (SEEMPs). 

This guide is essential for shipowners, operators and managers subject to the regulations, particularly MARPOL Annex VI. It will also be valuable to those involved in the design of new ships and modification of existing ships, including naval architects.
