It can be difficult to determine if shipowners or charterers are responsible for accounting and reporting the GHGs emitted by a ship.This article helps determine where the responsibility for accounting and reporting of GHG emissions from ships lies under different types of charter parties.Countries and corporations are working to reduce their greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions.This also applies to the shipping industry through the strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships from the International Maritime Organization(IMO).To do this,charterers and shipowners must account and report emissions for ships under their control.To help companies,the GHG Protocol has established the world’s most widely used standards to account and report emissions.However,this framework of standards has not been designed for specific use within the shipping industry and based on the request from our membership,the BIMCO secretariat has explored the emissions accounting challenges when ships are operated under different forms of charter.
