The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has released an open-access tool that allows national delegations to model and understand the potential trade cost implications of net-zero fuel (NZF) policy options. This transparency initiative helps countries make informed decisions about maritime decarbonization policies by showing local economic impacts before implementation.
