The International Maritime Organization (IMO) plans to implement its Net-Zero Framework in 2027, pending 2025 adoption. This framework introduces a two-tier compliance system and differential pricing for “remedial units,” requiring collaboration between shipowners and charterers. It aims to reshape decision-making in the maritime industry amid existing regulatory concerns.
The IMO Net-zero Framework, established at MEPC 83, is a revolutionary initiative for the shipping industry. It includes emissions limits, GHG pricing, a new fuel standard, and a global pricing mechanism. Despite challenges, industry leaders recognize its importance for decarbonization efforts. Stakeholders have expressed mixed views on the framework.
Lloyd’s Register’s Global Maritime Trends 2025 Barometer highlights the challenges facing the global shipping industry in achieving net-zero and digital transformation goals. Fragmented regulation hinders decarbonization progress and limits investment. Without global regulatory support, the industry may fall short of its ambitions. The report emphasizes the need for coordinated regulation and workforce development for successful transitions.
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and 47 governments are pushing for net zero greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by 2050. They have proposed a maritime GHG emissions pricing mechanism to the UN IMO. Major shipping nations and the EU support this initiative to drive a rapid energy transition in shipping.
