Understanding MEPC.240(65) – Biofuels in Shipping Regulations
The MEPC.240(65) – Biofuels in Shipping regulation is a critical guideline established by the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC).
This regulation provides revised guidelines and specifications for the carriage and use of biofuels in tankers, aiming to facilitate the broader adoption of sustainable fuel alternatives within the maritime industry.
By incorporating biofuels, ships can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, aligning their operations with global efforts to combat climate change. MEPC.240(65) ensures that the use of biofuels on tankers supports environmental protection goals without compromising safety and performance. This regulation promotes innovation in fuel technology by encouraging the integration of biofuels, thereby fostering a transition towards cleaner and more sustainable shipping practices across the industry.
