Quick summary MEPC 78: Impact on commercial decarbonization

The outcome of the latest International Maritime Organisation (IMO) meeting, MEPC 78, shows that progress is being made on GHG matters. EEXI, CII and SEEMP guidelines were finalized, and the Mediterranean Sea will be considered a Sulphur emission control area (SECA). However, no decision regarding zero emissions target in 2050 was taken at this point.

Shipping’s carbon cost could increase fivefold

Deleting shipping’s phase-in period in the EU ETS would lead to a fivefold rise in carbon cost in the initial year. It will be a steep learning curve for commercial decision-makers who are influenced by carbon exposure. The added carbon cost to a commonly traded intra-EU tanker route would go from USD 14 000 to USD 70 000. This is a new type of exposure that the industry needs to get familiar with, says Siglar CEO Sigmund Kyvik.
