Taking Action on Operational Efficiency (Operational Efficiency Ambition Statement Actions Report)
To analyze the experience and content of 26 shipping companies introducing 70 measures aimed at improving operational efficiency and reducing GHG emissions.
Based on this, in order to improve ship operation efficiency, the report describes key issues and related cases in which interested organizations, such as ship owners, charterers, management companies, ports, and terminals closely related to ship operation, should cooperate with each other.
The overview of the discussions at IMO MEPC 80 and frequently asked questions
To provide the overview and interpretation of the outcomes of agenda item 7 of the 80th session of Marine Environment Protection Committee
Distributinig Carbon Revenues from Shipping
The report discusses which countries could access carbon revenues, for what purposes, and on what terms. It argues that revenues should be used to decarbonize shipping, enhance maritime infrastructure, and support broader climate aims. This (mix of options to use carbon revenues) would speed up shipping’s transition to zero-carbon energy, help build the necessary infrastructure, lower maritime transport costs, and result in climate benefits beyond maritime transport. It would also ensure that all countries, including those with no shipping industry or ports, could access carbon revenues. By developing a smart and flexible framework, the report shows how carbon revenues could be distributed to maximize climate benefits and support an equitable transition.

The Poseidon Principles: 2023 Annual Disclosure Report
The Poseidon Principles, embraced by 80% of global ship finance, have aligned with the IMO’s net-zero emissions ambition by 2050, reflecting a commitment to climate action and transparency in maritime lending decisions. Despite industry challenges, such as port congestion and personnel shortages, the principles have shown significant progress in decarbonization efforts, with a +95.4% reporting percentage indicating growing industry recognition of the importance of transparency and collaboration in achieving sustainability goals. The publication of the 2023 Annual Disclosure Report highlights the shipping finance sector’s leadership in fostering a more sustainable future for the maritime industry.
