Summary

ISWG-GHG 18 closes with successful further ‘tidying up’ of the options and draft language, but with a predictable number of key decisions and further work needed to finalise the draft MARPOL amendment (Chapter 5 and accompanying revisions to other chapters). Overall, the process is on track to achieve finalisation in April following further intersessional dialogue between member states, the final ISWG-GHG 19 meeting, and work done during MEPC 83 itself.
