Panama's emission reduction cited at UN's marine environment session
THE Panama Canal Authority (ACP) joined Panamanian delegation at the UN's International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) for ship pollution talks.
During this five-day meeting in London, delegates discussed the energy efficiency and fuel consumption data collection.
The Panamanian delegation supported a joint statement on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from waterway, making the canal committed to "reducing the effects of climate change".
The Panama Canal Expansion will allow greater capacity vessels to transit, which will require fewer cargo movements, therefore reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, said the ACP press release.
