IMO highlights need to cut greenhouse emissions

THE International Maritime Organization (IMO) has highlighted its work to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping at the annual gathering of Asia Pacific Heads of Maritime Safety Agencies (APHoMSA), remotely hosted by the Cook Islands recently.

The IMO delegation encouraged participation from the region to IMO's Second Symposium on low- and zero-carbon fuels for shipping, which will focus on "Ensuring a just and inclusive transition towards low-carbon shipping." The symposium will be held on Oct. 21, 2022.
