Overview

This analysis explores costs associated with MARPOL Annex VI compliance for maritime transport, indicating necessary trade-offs to reduce air pollution.

Key Points

  • Maritime transport accounts for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to significant air pollution.
  • New ships must be 30% more energy efficient by 2025, challenging the industry to adopt cleaner technologies.
  • Current measures like using cleaner fuels are costly and cannot address all air pollutants simultaneously.
  • The paper highlights that compromises are essential in balancing compliance costs with environmental impacts.
