Description: As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is expected to only intensify its future efforts
to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships, there are multiple approaches being
adopted to help achieve this goal. One approach being advocated is the promotion of a variety of
sustainable, non-petroleum based fuels as alternatives to more traditional fossil fuels. This,
however, is seen as more of a long-term approach in which existing ships are gradually replaced
over time by newer ones specifically designed to operate using such fuels. On the other hand,
another more immediate approach that has attracted growing attention in recent years is to capture
carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from ships.
With the above in mind, this Guidelines will serve as a reference for those who
plan, design, construct, and operate vessels equipped with shipboard CO2 capture and storage
(SCCS) systems. It outlines the basic concepts of shipboard CO2 capture and storage systems, the
class notation assigned to ships equipped with such systems and related safety requirement, and
has been compiled with the utmost care in reference to relevant standards and other published
literature.
