On Friday, "an IMO sub-committee approved proposed Arctic heavy fuel oil ban. Environmental advocates & indigenous peoples’ groups criticized the ban as insufficient & called on Arctic states to pass stronger regulation on their own. "
@malte_humpert @IMOHQ @ArcticCouncil #mepc75 The @IMOHQ regulation, however, has repeatedly been criticized by environmental organizations @CleanArctic as too weak due to a number of loopholes, which will allow #Arctic states to continue using HFO until mid-2029.

The @ImohW decision has been condemned by environmentalists as a "massive missed opportunity".
Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is widely used to power commercial ships. HFO's have been banned in Antarctic waters since 2011 over fears that oil spills could cause pollution.

Via @shipinsight: #MEPC75 must review #Arctic HFO ban, but #Russia holds the key writes @paulgunton1 shipinsight.com/articles/mepc-… @IMOHQ Image Current draft of Ban “would allow 74% of HFO-fuelled ships to keep using HFO in the #Arctic” and would result in a reduction of HFO carried of just 30% and a cut in black carbon emissions of only 5%." @BryanComerPhD @TheICCT shipinsight.com/articles/mepc-… @IMOHQ @shipinsight #mepc75
