Sažetak
Presenting an overview of legal acts whose solutions, as a result of active climate and maritime policies at European and global level, guarantee the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport - the author points out the importance of the decision on the introduction of mandatory, global, minimum energy efficiency standards for ships in international shipping. The basic starting point of this research is the analysis of Rule 22A of amended Annex VI. MARPOL Convention which establishes a legal framework for the mandatory global data collection system for fuel oil consumption of ships (IMO DCS), according to which, from 1 January 2019, shipowners are required to collect fuel oil consumption data for ships above 5,000 GT and above in international shipping and to report on fuel oil consumption as of March 2020. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the regulatory activity of the European legislation of 2019 in relation to the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2015/757 and the efforts to achieve full harmonisation of the European and global system of collecting data on emissions and fuel oil consumption on ships, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport. The focus is on the assessment of the effectiveness of aligning the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/757 with the global IMO DCS system under the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2015/757 from 2019.
