The UK was a leading participant in the April 2018 negotiations that led to the Initial International Maritime Organization Greenhouse Gas Strategy. The UK continues to play a leading role in efforts to address carbon emissions from international shipping.
Domestically, we will be launching our Clean Maritime Plan in Spring 2019. This will set out plans to address both greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions from shipping, and will underpin our long-term vision of zero emission shipping.
