JSA s AGM Resolution International Shipping (Gist) - Securing safe navigation of vessels and promoting environmental preservation - Strengthening international shipping competitiveness Smooth implementation of tonnage-based tax system - Appropriate response to international issues Maintaining antitrust immunity system for liner shipping Expressing Japanese shipowners views via international / regional organisations such as ICS, ISF and ASF Taking measures against terrorist / piracy attacks - Appropriate response to seafarers issue Early abolishment of manning requirement for Japanese-flagged vessels Establishment of systems to nurture Japanese marine engineers etc Major Challenges (1) - GHG To agree a new framework for the post Kyoto Protocol UNFCC C COP13 Dec 2007 Indonesia COP14 Dec 2008 Poland COP15 Dec 2009 Denmark New framework : From 2013; Acceptance stage for New Framework the new frameworkfor GHG Reduction Report development at IMO Report development at IMO IMO MEPC57 Mar 2008 GHG Interim Meeting Jun 2008 MEPC58 Oct 2008 GHG Interim Meeting Mar 2009 MEPC59 Jul 2009 General Assembly Nov 2009 MEPC60 Mar 2010 MEPC61 Oct 2010 Begin with substantial deliberations -Develop Draft Revision of MARPOL Annex VI - Begin with discussion on market-based instruments It is important that the GHG reduction measures for the industry should be applied globally to all vessels, regardless of their flags, without distorting competition in the market. Improving energy efficiency through measures such as the design index for ships would be the most effective way to reduce the GHG emissions from international shipping. IMO, the primary international organisation with an expertise in shipping, is the most appropriate forum to discuss the GHG issues for international shipping. 7
