Started in October 2025, the IMO plans to adopt a new chapter in MARPOL Annex VI that introduces a global fuel standard and a pricing system for greenhouse gases. Vessels over 5,000 gross tons will track fuel intensity; those exceeding set limits must buy remedial units or transfer unused credits from cleaner ships.
