Major shipowners condemn Net-Zero Framework

"Fundamental" problems with proposals cannot be resolved after adoption, group warns, writes Nigel Lowry of Lloyd's List

Some of the world's largest shipping companies have voiced their "grave concerns" with the IMO's Net-Zero Framework (NZF) , saying the flaws in the regulation are so fundamental that they will not be able to be fixed post-adoption. In a joint statement, the ad hoc group of 15 shipowners said that it wanted "to ensure that the voice of the industry is heard and appreciated by decision-makers".
