International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) Publications has launched the fifth version of Shipping and the Environment: A Guide to Environmental Compliance.
This newest version gives complete updates and expanded insights into the intricate relationship between delivery operations and environmental safety.
The fifth version is a definitive information, offering a holistic introduction to corporations and crew members navigating this complicated material. Recognising the necessity for accessibility, this version is designed to be a user-friendly useful resource for people with various ranges of familiarity with MARPOL laws and the environmental influence of day-to-day delivery.
Existing assets on delivery and the setting are sometimes both overly complicated, equivalent to regulatory paperwork, or overly simplistic, equivalent to generalist on-line sources like Wikipedia. Additionally, pertinent info is scattered throughout area of interest publications, making it difficult for stakeholders to entry complete steering in a single consolidated supply.
“We identified a pressing need for a single, authoritative resource that addresses the key environmental issues facing the shipping industry,” mentioned John Stawpert, Senior Manager (Environment and Trade) on the International Chamber of Shipping. “With this new edition, we aimed to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive yet accessible guide that addresses the dynamic regulatory environment.”
Emmanuele Grimaldi, Chairman of the International Chamber of Shipping, commented: “As a shipowner I have heavily invested in energy efficiency practices, as well as new green technologies, to move forward in reaching the International Maritime Organization’s net zero carbon emissions target by or around 2050. This new overarching guide by the ICS provides the industry with practical guidance and peace of mind in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.”
In response to the dynamic nature of environmental laws, ICS plans to overview and produce up to date editions of ‘Shipping and the Environment: A Guide to Environmental Compliance’ each 2-3 years. This dedication displays the organisation’s dedication to making sure that stakeholders stay knowledgeable and empowered to undertake sustainable practices, recognising the evolving regulatory framework and environmental best-practices.
The fifth version guarantees to be a useful useful resource for corporations, crew members, coaching establishments, administrations, and policy-makers alike. By consolidating key environmental necessities and elements into one authoritative publication, ICS goals to foster better consciousness, understanding, and motion in direction of sustainable delivery practices.
