US EditionUN shipping regulator advocates for industry emissions fee at COP30, despite Trump pushback
The International Maritime Organization aims to impose a $100 per ton carbon fee to reduce shipping emissions, which now account for about 3% of global greenhouse gases.
- At a COP30 side event near the Brazilian Amazon, IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said Monday he is continuing to advocate for global shipping regulations.
- Maritime nations had planned to adopt the first global carbon fee last month at the IMO, but delegates postponed the decision by a year after pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia.
- Under the Net‑Zero Framework, regulators would require a marine fuel standard that reduces emissions over time and impose a minimum fee of $100 per ton for excess greenhouse gases.
- Dominguez told The Associated Press that progress on the shipping fee framework is continuing and he will engage proactively with member states, while the International Chamber of Shipping, representing over 80% of the world’s merchant fleet, advocated adoption.
- Dominguez said the IMO aims for adoption next year and will work with parties to overcome barriers as shipping emissions reach about 3% of global greenhouse gases and large ships last about 25 years.
