he Global maritime transport The commitment will be in 2027 of Reducing emissions From greenhouse gases and every ship must Pay if you exceed your custom fees. This is the pre -determination that arrived this week More than 100 countries Signatures on an agreement International Maritime Organization (IMO) on the ship’s pollution. The agreement is similar It is already in the European Union And that countries like Spain consider it Harm its ports Because until now it does not extend to the rest of the world. If IM members believe in October what was agreed now, in 2027, the system will be valid to reduce emissions that will affect expected The movement of the ship in any area.
Belonging to United NationsIMO is the global body responsible for setting and protecting environmental safety rules and international maritime transport and in the last week of the sessions, in London between 7 and 11 April, closed a Before the expression that absorbs the rules of the world On the emissions of the great ships that It is in the European Union.
If everything goes according to the prescribed calendar, within two years, all the global ship will be subject to the standards so that ships Reducing fossil fuels And the emissions of carbon dioxide they produce. As in the European Union since 2024, it will affect large marine navigation ships, more From 5000 tons Among the total brackets, which the International Organization for Migration considers responsible for 85 % of carbon dioxide emissions From international maritime transport.
Those who are emitting above the specified thresholds will have to restore these abuses well with surpluses of emissions from other ships, with their surplus units at other times or Buying version’s rights to the Net-Zero Fund that IMO It will be created for that. Also for cVascular vessels due to low emissions, To support innovation and remove carbon in developing countries and mitigate Negative effects The mandatory limit of emissions may be in Weak countries.
The agreement must be supported in October 2025 as soon as the amendments that are eventually submitted to the agreement this month and in the spring of 2026 must be resolved, guidelines will be approved on how to implement this global system, which is planned to enter into force in 2027, and will intensify with these obligations on the energy efficiency that is already included in the international agreement for the IMO approval that will become part. This agreement Today, 108 countries have been forced -“Parts” -, That focuses 97 % of the global merchant fleet.
From here, Practically all maritime trade in the world The rules for reducing ship emissions will be covered, with the boundaries of the mandatory emissions of boat, with the aim of zero emissions in 2050, as well as installing carbon prices throughout the sector. In the European Union, boats must be paid for 100 % of their emissions If they do ports between their ports and 50 % if the European port is the origin or the destination only. Maritime transport last year became part of European emissions trading system, So that ship owners can buy issuance rights if they exceed their specific fees, which have an impact on the costs of this trade.
However, this is pThe European beloved was lame Because so far there are no similar obligations around the world. World Trade is moving very well by boat, and from the sea, and since last year the European Union ports have become more expensive measures than, for example, than those in North Africa, A few tens of kilometers and what does not weigh any privilege to remove carbon dioxide.
This happened last January, when the Danish maritime transport is multinational. MarskI announce this I was stopping to move in the port of Algeria, to do this in Tangier, Only 60 kilometers, but among them a much greater difference: having to push to a European port or they should not do this to reach Moroccan, so far without obligations related to carbon dioxide emissions.
The bridge campaign in Brussels
The Meersx advertisement came in the middle The Crusader campaign that Spain was marking in the European Union, Warning about the damage to the European ports of this list if they are not present all over the world. Minister of Transport, óscar publicteThis issue, which was raised in many meetings of the European Union ministers, ask Carbon dioxide rate Last year, he obtained other member states to sign several data. In June, to ask the European Commission The evaluation will apply for several years Impact on organizing European ports and freight companies against carbon dioxide emissions, and in December Insist on “possible logistical deviations” One of the companies that cannot be forced to pay anything if it is installed in additional communication ports only dozens of kilometers.
The government campaign in Brussels on this issue was repeated that, instead of only the European, there should be a global list, such as those that have just been agreed upon in Momf. Bointte also insisted on the Secretary -General of this agency, Banmeyan Arsenio domínguezIn a meeting in London last January.
Therefore, the Ministry of Transport issued a statement on Tuesday “Celebrates” which is considered a “historic agreement” It arrived at the International Maritime Organization. Puente administration highlights “the importance of any regulation It is applied uniformly around the world To alleviate the risk of competitiveness of the sector and the importance of work so that the ports indicate the transformation. “
While this regulations were launched all over the world, Transporte continues to deal with the European Union list on carbon dioxide emissions from ships and the official newsletter of the state (BiIt was published on Tuesday a decision of the General Directorate of Maritime Traders to correct the previous omission, and also allows regulations as a super region, to clarify this All the public interest of the Canary Islands is exempt From the application of the European Union regulations, which states that all ships that exceed 5,000 tons Reducing the severity of emissions One of the greenhouse gases used on board the plane is when it carries European ports, as well as providing electricity in it from renewable sources.
