National efforts to decarbonize the maritime transport industry have intensified in Egypt, inching closer to being developed into a national action plan (NAP) that would tackle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions both from vessels and ports.

As disclosed, the NAP is being crafted with support from the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) GreenVoyage2050 program, a technical cooperation kickstarted by the IMO to help developing nations slash GHG emissions from shipping, in line with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy.
