Bill overview
The International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2025 aims to address the environmental impact of international shipping by establishing fees on vessels and their operators. The bill requires the EPA Administrator to assess fees based on a vessel’s fuel consumption and cargo transported, with adjustments for inflation and polar voyages. It also mandates reporting requirements for covered voyages, including details about fuel usage, port calls, and cargo destinations. Furthermore, the act seeks to incentivize the transition to cleaner shipping technologies by providing grants and loans for replacing or retrofitting Jones Act vessels with battery or low-carbon fuel systems, and invests in research and development for sustainable maritime fuels and technologies.
