Call to Action for Marine Members
- IMCA is collecting fuel consumption data from its members, to enable it to effectively lobby IMO Member States for a suitable Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) for assessing the offshore sector. This effort is of critical importance because the proposed ‘transport work’ proxy, which is based on cargo ships, is not a suitable metric for assessing the carbon intensity of the offshore sector.
- IMCA, in collaboration with the Russian Federation, prepared a submission to IMO (MEPC 74/6) (include hyperlink) proposing two possible metrics, Proxy A and Proxy B, which could be used instead of ‘transport work’. The IMO is now in the process of considering the IMCA submission and will take a decision in June.
- What is needed to support the IMCA submission is data on fuel consumption.
- Support IMCA’s submission by submitting your fuel consumption data through a process managed by the Marine Policy & Regulatory Affairs Committee.
- We are collecting data for two reporting periods as IMO, 2019 and 2020. 2019 and 2020 data should be submitted no later than 4 April 2021. Members can be assured that the data submitted will be treated as confidential.
