Some of the proponents of a GHG levy/contribution put forward a consolidation of their proposals during MEPC 82, which was seen as a work in progress by the Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships. Proponents of the GHG levy/contribution have continued their efforts intersessionally to prepare consolidated draft text, as amendments to MARPOL Annex VI for approval at MEPC 83, which is annexed to this document. The Working Group is requested to note the broad agreement/support for the need of a GHG levy/contribution as an indispensable element in the IMO “net-zero framework”, as demonstrated by the list of co-sponsors. The document calls for the use of the annex as a base document to continue integrating proposals for an economic element.
