Bill overview
The International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2025 aims to address pollution from international shipping by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess fees on vessels engaged in covered voyages. These fees are based on a lifecycle carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2-e) emissions profile for fuels used, with adjustments for inflation and polar regions. The bill also establishes a program to incentivize the replacement or retrofitting of Jones Act vessels with zero-emission technologies and requires reporting of voyage data to the EPA. Furthermore, it introduces fees on criteria air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter.
