IMO’s action toward GHG emissions reduction 13 November 2019 Hideaki SAITO Chair, IMO/MEPC Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

International Maritime Organization (IMO)  IMO: a specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for measures to improve the safety and security of international shipping and to prevent pollution from ships  History : Established in 1958, Headquarters in London  Memberships: 174 Member States, three Associate Members, 64 intergovernmental organizations, 81 international non-governmental organizations Maritime Safety Committee （ MSC ） Assembly Council Carriage of Cargoes and Containers （ CCC ） Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping Marine Environment Protection （ HTW ） Committee （ MEPC ） Implementation of IMO Instruments （ III ） Legal Committee （ LEG ） Navigation, Communications and Search and Technical Cooperation Rescue （ NCSR ） Committee （ TC ） Pollution Prevention and Response （ PPR ） Facilitation Committee （ FAL ） Ship Design and Construction （ SDC ） Ship Systems and Equipment （ SSE ） 1

Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC)  MEPC has a role to address environmental issues, and to discuss and develop measures among member States based on MARPOL Convention.  Main agenda items in recent years include:  Greenhouse Gas emission  Sulphur Oxides  Nitrogen Oxides  Ballast water management  Marine plastic litter etc. 2

International efforts to tackle the climate change IMO adopted the GHG Strategy in April 2018 The first global commitment by an industrial sector, without differentiation amongst the countries 2030 2050 ~2100 2023 2008 Base CO 2 /ton-mile CO 2 volume Phase out level ∆40%* ∆50%* GHG *Compared to 2008 Candidate measures 【 Short-term 】 【 Mid-term 】 【 Long-term 】 • Design improvement • Market-based Measures • Zero-carbon fuels (e.g. strengthening EEDI *1 ) • Low-carbon fuels • Other possible new/innovative measures etc. etc. • Operational improvement (e.g. strengthening SEEMP *2 ) *1 EEDI ： Energy Efficiency Design Index • National Action Plan etc. *2 SEEMP ： Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan 3

CO 2 requirement on new ships: EEDI regulation  Mandatory goal-based energy efficiency requirement applied globally on new ships after 2013  Gradually strengthened in phased basis EEDI ＝ Fuel carbon factor × Efficiency [GHG-kg/ton-mile] [GHG-kg/fuel-ton] [fuel-ton/ton-mile] Phase 3 2022/25～ Introduction of Phase 4 (20XX, ∆X%) ∆ ３０-５０% Phase 2 Ongoing work at the Correspondence Group 2020～ ∆ ２０%  Bottom-up exercise : develop a list of new technologies and alternative fuels along with GHG reduction potential, Phase 1 year of practical use and challenges 2015～  Backcasting from the 2050 target : consider how EEDI ∆ １０% can contribute to the initial IMO GHG Strategy  Other technical issues : scope of application, technical 2013～ guidelines, evaluation of alternative fuels etc Entry into force 5

Proposed short-term measures on existing ships 20+ candidate short-term measures were proposed at MEPC74  Japan/Norway Mandatory Cap on energy efficiency existing ship index, e.g., engine power limit  Denmark/Germany/Spain Mandatory Cap on annual average of energy efficiency  France/Clean Shipping Coalition(CSC) Mandatory Cap on annual average of speed  International Chamber of Shipping(ICS) Mandatory audit of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)  World Shipping Council(WSC) Mandatory R&D contributions per tonne of fuel 6
