Scenario 1: Maritime compliance costs are no longer confined to regional regulation. Based on current policy timelines and market assumptions, the industry’s annual compliance bill could rise from around USD 2.7 billion in 2024 to more than USD 57 billion by 2032, with the IMO framework becoming the largest driver of future cost exposure.
The full storyThe article series "How a CII approach to chartering can increase emissions and cost" presents common voyage examples highlighting the sometimes unfortunate correlation between CII rating, absolute emissions, and carbon cos. In this example, we compare voyage CII to absolute emissions of thee potential ships for a transatlantic MR voyage.
For charterers and traders, access to the right insights at the right time might halve emissions from single voyages. On a TC2 voyage 1 300 tonnes of CO2 and its related carbon cost could be avoided by making one single data-based decision. A partnership between London Stock Exchange Group and Siglar Carbon provides actionable emissions data to trading desks, where great carbon and cost reduction potential can be unleashed.
In their 80th session, IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee agreed to reach net-zero GHG emissions from international shipping ‘by or around’ 2050 and that the mid-term GHG reduction measures, including a maritime GHG emissions pricing mechanism should be finalised and adopted by 2025. Let’s take a closer look at the key outcomes of the meeting.
