IMO Formalizes Global Clean Bunker Registry Ahead of Enforcing Net-Zero Vessel Frameworks
The multilateral standard establishes a centralized verification and data-interchange engine designed to support the upcoming enforcement of the IMO Net-Zero Framework (NZF) under MARPOL Annex VI. The platform provides international shipowners, charterers, bunker suppliers, and Port State Control (PSC) administrations with a single, universally recognized compliance ledger for tracking alternative low- and zero-carbon marine fuels.
