How U.S. ports can partner with the ICCT to leverage federal funding for electrification
With technical assistance from the ICCT, ports can conduct inventories of emissions and estimate the benefits of electrification.
India’s plan to expand shore power infrastructure at major ports
In Harit Sagar Green Port Guidelines, among the land-based initiatives are electrification of port vehicles and cargo-handling machinery and phased adoption of alternative fuels by trucks that transport cargo. To reduce sea-based emissions, Harit Sagar endorsed the use of shore power and cleaner alternative fuels to operate port crafts.
Aligning the IMO’s Greenhouse Gas Fuel Standard with its GHG strategy and the Paris Agreement
Explores how the GHG Fuel Standard (GFS) can be designed to align with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) GHG strategy and the Paris Agreement.
Opportunity NOx: How to fix the IMO’s backwards air pollution regulation
New research by the ICCT reveals that ships with newer Tier II engines emit more nitrogen oxides (NOx) than ships with older Tier I engines, highlighting the need for stricter emissions standards and testing methods in the maritime sector.
IMO’s newly revised GHG strategy: What it means for shipping and the Paris Agreement
The 2023 strategy contains big improvements, including a net-zero date around 2050 and interim emissions reduction targets for 2030 and 2040.
Be truly “Fit for 55” by adding black carbon emissions from ships
To reduce the impacts of global climate change and protect the Arctic and its peoples, the European Union should consider adding black carbon emissions from ships to its climate regulations.
What if I told you cruising is worse for the climate than flying?
Vacationers take note: Even the most efficient cruise ships today emit more CO2 per passenger kilometer than a passenger jet.
Vancouver’s new scrubber restrictions mean cleaner waters

Zero-emission shipping and the Paris Agreement: Why the IMO needs to pick a zero date and set interim targets in its revised GHG strategy
To align with the Paris Agreement temperature goals, the IMO’s upcoming revision of its GHG strategy should include a year by which emissions must be zero and interim targets.
[Updated] Choose wisely: IMO’s carbon intensity target could be the difference between rising or falling shipping emissions this decade
IMO member states’ choice of carbon intensity target matters a great deal.
Choose wisely: IMO’s carbon intensity target could be the difference between rising or falling shipping emissions this decade
IMO member states are set to pick between two different ways of measuring carbon intensity, and the choice matters a great deal.
