Fathom World update and podcast news
As usual the meeting of the marine environment protection committee at the IMO was political and slow paced, and they came up with some numbers which were criticised by some and welcomed by others.
But ship owners now have the CII & EEXI to deal with, and it is not going to be easy for everyone to comply with. The devil will really be in the detail, so to get under them I spoke to Edwin Pang at RINA for a special episode of the Aronnax Podcast. It’s worth listening to if you have a desire to be part of the discussion. Share and like the link too so more shipping folk can get to listen.
The work at MEPC now turns to the more long-term measures and even more controversial issue of market-based measures and funds.
Enjoy your week and as always, I welcome hearing from you.
