The announcement was made on the heels of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC74) in London, where the Panama Canal participated.
As explained, enhancements are in line with the canal’s carbon reduction commitments, the IMO’s emissions reduction strategy and the Paris Agreement.
“With these improvements to our environmental and conservation initiatives, the Panama Canal solidifies its leadership in the adoption of carbon-reduction best practices,” Alexis Rodriguez, Panama Canal’s Environmental Protection Specialist, commented.
