Τhe aim of this Masters’ dissertation is focused on the study of the legislative framework that governs the concept of decarbonisation in shipping, both at the european and international level. Through their legislative work, the European Union and the International Maritime Organization emerge as pillars for achieving decarbonisation, with the ultimate goal of combating climate change and achieving climate neutrality.
More specifically, at the international level, the International Maritime Organization plays a vital role. Through global initiatives such as the Global Maritime Technologies Cooperation Global Network, IMO works with regional partners to develop, implement and enforce marine environmental goals helping to ensure that no one is left behind in the green maritime transition. Such initiatives are the so-called Market Based Measures, the establishment of indicators such as Carbon Intensity Index, Energy Efficiency Design Index, Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, but also the drafting of legislative texts such as the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973.
At the European level, the European Union's strategy for achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and implementing the commitments made under the Paris Agreement is summarized in the European Green Deal and the Fit For 55 package of measures, with the aim of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and the alignment of European Union’s legislation with the 2030 goal. Afterwards, an extensive analysis is carried out regarding the three main pieces of legislation (Directives, Regulations) of the European Union that focus on achieving the above target in the shipping industry. Given the nature of the legislation of the International Maritime Organization and the European Union, the transfer of this legislative work to the Greek legal system is described in detail hereafter.
To summarize, this dissertation will be based on the bibliographical method review based on collecting primary and secondary material, which has been gathered from Greek and foreign language bibliography, legislative texts and articles published on the internet.
