The International Maritime Organization (IMO) published toolkits for both shippers and ports as a way to assess ways of reducing emissions across the maritime sector. The “Ship Emissions Toolkit and Port Emissions Toolkit” was developed under the Global Maritime Energy Efficiency Partnerships (GloMEEP) Project. IMO worked in collaboration with the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH). The new guides was created to help countries develop and strengthen regulatory frameworks that are related to the prevention of air pollution, along with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships. The ship and port emission toolkits provide a practical guidance on assessing emissions so that a national emission reduction strategy for the maritime sector can be developed. These toolkits feature decision support tools that help in evaluating emissions reduction opportunities and includes guidance for conducting a rapid assessment that generates both quantitative and qualitative information. . .
