Korea advances global onboard carbon capture

A Korean maritime partnership has secured IMO backing for its proposal to develop international safety guidelines for onboard carbon capture

A Korean public-private maritime partnership has secured a major breakthrough in developing international safety standards for onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), after its joint proposal was selected as the basis for further work at the IMO.

The decision was reached at the IMO’s 12th session of the Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC 12), where delegates agreed to use Korea’s proposal to develop interim OCCS safety guidelines, incorporating elements of a separate submission from the International Association of Classification Societies.

“Our next step is to bring contributions from member states and international organisations together to develop workable safety requirements.”
