The "International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2025" seeks to address environmental concerns related to the shipping industry by implementing several key measures aimed at reducing pollution from maritime activities.
Assessment Fees on Shipping Vessels
The bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to impose fees on shipping vessels based on their greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. This initiative is designed to incentivize the shipping industry to lower its environmental impact by encouraging the adoption of cleaner technologies. The EPA will also establish a system for monitoring and reporting emissions, ensuring transparency and compliance with the new regulations.
Funding for Vessel Upgrades
In addition to the fees, the bill creates a funding program for entities involved in maritime transportation, including state agencies and collaborations between public and private sectors. This program focuses on:
- Replacing or retrofitting harbor and ferry vessels with battery-powered systems.
- Prioritizing projects that significantly reduce emissions and enhance public health.
Entities applying for funding may charge a management fee of up to 1% for overseeing the program, which will help ensure efficient implementation of funded projects.
Environmental Impact Goals
Overall, the bill aims to promote the use of low-emission technologies within the shipping industry and reduce the negative effects of maritime operations on air quality and climate change. By establishing financial incentives and support for greener practices, the legislation intends to foster a more sustainable future for maritime transportation.
