This spring’s MEPC 75 meeting was due to make a number of important decisions – how will these be managed now? What will be the impact on shipping’s decarbonisation targets? Will timelines have to be delayed? How is port state control dealing with enforcement of regulations under restrictions? And how will regulators move forward with the ‘new normal’?
Compliance is key for shipowners and operators and this webinar will help them:
- Understand how regulators and port state control are managing monitoring and compliance
- Learn about the impact of the pandemic on developing regulations and timelines for reducing shipping’s carbon footprint
- Use the information to assist in business planning and current operations
