INTERCARGO statement on Extraordinary Meeting of MEPC
(Posted on 20/10/25)
The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (INTERCARGO) has released a statement on the Extraordinary Meeting of MEPC. Dr Kostas Gkonis, Secretary General of INTERCARGO said: “Following IMO’s decision regarding the Net Zero Framework, INTERCARGO reaffirms its support to the IMO as the sole global regulator capable of delivering coherent and effective measures for international shipping. We wish to see the current postponement as an opportunity for further dialogue. The time ahead should be used constructively and effectively to bridge differing positions among IMO Member States and to also ensure that the industry’s voice and input are heard and taken onboard.
"We invite Member States at IMO to work more closely among them but also in partnership with the shipping community towards agreeing on a regulatory framework that is realistic, practical, and globally workable.”
INTERCARGO unites and promotes quality dry bulk shipping, bringing together more than 290 forward thinking companies from 30 countries. INTERCARGO convened for the first time in 1980 in London and has been participating with consultative status at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) since 1993. INTERCARGO provides the forum where dry bulk shipowners, managers and operators are informed about, discuss, and share concerns on key topics and regulatory challenges, especially in relation to safety, security, the environment, and operational excellence.
