IMO Calendar (2023 – 2026)
The IMO Calendar can be very useful and practical as a resource for owners, managers, engineers and experts working in the marine industry. Based on this, the following tables explain a brief description of the new mandatory regulations. Obviously, due to the process of adopting and promulgating maritime regulations in the IMO, these tables may include some changes and new items in the future.

Emission regulations and the future of ships
With the entry into force of IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator, future of a third of the world’s ships hangs in the air
The MARPOL requirements of oil residues (sludge) tanks
In accordance with MARPOL/Annex I/Reg. 12, ships with a gross tonnage of 400 and above are mandated to be equipped with a tank or tanks of sufficient capacity. The capacity should be determined with consideration given to the type of machinery and the duration of the voyage, ensuring the proper reception of oil residues (sludge).
Sampling point in the ballast water discharge line
In accordance with article 9 of the Convention, a Party may sample the ship’s ballast water for the purpose of determining whether the ship is in compliance with the Convention in accordance with these Guidelines. Although the Convention contains no requirements for provision of sampling points, the Guidelines for approval of ballast water management systems (G8) adopted by resolution MEPC. 174(58) do expressly call for the provision of sampling facilities, not only for the purpose of type approval, but also for the purpose of other required sampling process.
The Engine International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate (EIAPP Certificate)
The Engine International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate (EIAPP Certificate) plays a pivotal role in addressing Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from marine engines. This certification, governed by the NOx Technical Code, employs prescribed test cycles and measurement methods to calculate NOx emissions, emphasizing compliance with stringent environmental standards.
