The greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction strategy adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) calls for a 40 per cent improvement in efficiency by 2030 compared to 2008 and a 50 per cent total reduction compared with 2008 by the year 2050. It also calls for the zero emissions as early as possible in Japan. To meet these goals, the early development of ships designed to be zero emission vessels is expected.
