Agenda: AMENDMENTS TO THE IMDG CODE AND SUPPLEMENTS. Submitted by Germany, Marshall Islands, Netherlands (Kingdom of the), Singapore, Thailand, BIC, BIMCO, ICS, ICHCA, ITF, IUMI, IVODGA, P&I Clubs and WSC.
The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) review of the Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention is currently one of the most significant regulatory works taking place. Expected to conclude by Autumn 2028, the BWM Convention review will result in amendments to both mandatory instruments (the BWM Convention and BWMS Code) and non-mandatory instruments (Guidelines and Guidance associated with the BWM Convention). Once these amendments enter into force (currently anticipated to be Autumn 2028), the current Experience-Building Phase (EBP) will end, and a stricter compliance and enforcement regime will begin.
By explaining the relationship between shipping and the environment, this guide helps crew and shoreside staff understand not only what environmental requirements are in place but why these regulations matter.
The 2025-2026 ICS Maritime Barometer Report is the latest full scale annual survey of risk, confidence, and impacts among maritime leaders.
Today, at the International Chamber of Shipping’s Annual General Meeting, John Denholm CBE was elected as the new Chairman of ICS. This video explains who John his and what his vision is for ICS.
The objective of this report is to identify and analyse key areas where the HKC and the EU SSR diverge. To do this, the report examines the legal texts of both frameworks, together with the corresponding IMO and EU guidelines and secondary legislation. Several recommendations to narrow the gaps between the frameworks are also given. The national implementations of the EU SRR and HKC as well as guidelines from other bodies such as the ILO are out of scope of this report.
On Friday the 5 June, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) hosted a webinar on the ‘Maritime Applications for Batteries,’ discussing the current state of battery-electric propulsion in the maritime sector. Batteries can reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and enhance performance – particularly on short sea routes, which our panel came together to provide insight on.
International shipping faces tightening decarbonisation expectations while alternative fuels scale slowly and unevenly. In this context, onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) is one of the few near‑term options able to deliver material tank‑to‑wake reductions on vessels that will continue operating on conventional or transition fuels through the 2030s
On Thursday the 7 May, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) hosted a webinar on On Board Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS), as a new pathway to achieve compliance with greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations. The panel was made up of experts in the subjects, who have just produced a new study commissioned by ICS offering up-to-date, high-level strategic guidance for shipowners on the evolving OCCS landscape.
The International Chamber of Shipping will be hosting a webinar on 'On Board Carbon Capture and Storage' on Thursday the 7 May at 12:00-13:00 BST | 13:00-14:00 CET. The webinar will discuss On Board Carbon Capture as a potential pathway for both newbuild and existing ships to achieve compliance with greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations.
