摘要

The world's shipping industry was unable to make headway on developing market-based measures (MBMs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the International Maritime Organization said in a March 5 briefing following a week-long environmental meeting in London.But the United Nations agency did make progress in other areas, including the adoption of guidelines to support next year's mandatory measures to improve ships' energy efficiency, guidelines on recycling of ships, and final approval of a number of ballast waster management systems, IMO said.
