An IMO workshop has raised awareness of the organization's regulatory regime dealing with improving energy efficiency and the control of GHG emissions from ships. Participants from Chinese governmental departments, academia and other related bodies attended the three-day "MARPOL Annex VI and Technology Transfer" workshop in Dalian, China (30 May - 1 June). The event was organized under IMO's GloMEEP project, which is supporting uptake and implementation of energy efficiency measures for shipping in developing countries. China is one of the 10 GloMEEP lead pilot countries.
The workshop was co-hosted by China MSA and Dalian Maritime University (DMU). Astrid Dispert and a team of consultants represented IMO at the event.
