Chapter V
Legal issues
and regulatory
developments
This chapter provides an overview of important international legal
issues and regulatory developments affecting maritime transport
and trade. Part A focuses on recent IMO developments to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from ships, notably, the agreement
on draft midterm measures in line with the 2023 IMO strategy on
greenhouse gas emissions.
Part B explores international regulatory developments to strengthen
the rights of seafarers, global key workers who operate in a
challenging environment exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and
supply chain instability.
Part C highlights other important legal developments and initiatives.
These include the entry into force of the 2009 Hong Kong Convention
for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, the
preparation of the draft code on maritime autonomous surface
ships (MASS) under IMO auspices, and ongoing IMO work to combat
fraudulent ship registration and registries, both matters of growing
global concern.
