A series of regulations targeting vessel efficiency and carbon intensity will likely enter into force by 2023, and therefore, is being aptly named IMO 2023. This next chapter of change for international shipping is quickly approaching and a new wave of uncertainty and questions comes with it.

The regulations will encourage the improvement of vessel efficiency, adoption of low-carbon alternative fuels, and lower emissions in international shipping. These coming changes create challenges and opportunities for the vessel owner/operators seeking compliance and the beneficial cargo owners seeking opportunities to lower the energy cost and emissions needed to get their goods to customers.

Watch the Breakthrough team break down the impending IMO 2023 regulations and answer frequently asked questions from shippers in this video.
