Underwater noise
The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) 2014 Guidelines on Underwater noise are under review with the aim of increased uptake and more detail as to where noise levels can be reduced and how this could be possible. Areas of mutual benefits with reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the potential for voyage planning and management plans are all being proposed. INTERTANKO will continue to proactively engage at IMO level as this review continues and advocate for uniform measurement methodologies for monitoring and recording.
