GLOBAL DECARBONISATION
Vincent Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Maersk, says:“ A. P. Moller – Maersk wants to accelerate the green transition in shipping and logistics and a crucial next step is to introduce regulatory conditions which ensure that we create the most greenhouse gas emission reductions per invested dollar. This includes an efficient pricing mechanism to close the gap between fossil and green fuelsand ensuring that the green choice is easier to make for our customers and consumers globally.”
Soren Toft, Chief Executive Officer of MSC, says:“ Shipping is at the forefront of technological innovation when it comes to decarbonisation and at MSC our fleet renewal strategy includes 100 dual fuel vessels. We are proud to be part of this unprecedented collaboration with our peers and it is only right that together we follow this path towards net zero that we must achieve by 2050.”
At the Marine Environment Protection Committee’ s( MEPC) 83rd session in April 2025, the IMO approved a net zero framework that combines a fuel standard with a global greenhouse gas pricing mechanism for ships. The IMO hoped this would be adopted at the MEPC’ s extraordinary session, however by its end on 17 October, it was agreed the decision would be pushed into 2026.
What is the IMO’ s net zero framework? The framework includes two key elements: a global fuel standard and global greenhouse gas emissions
