Introduction
In recent years, many in the maritime industry have been closely watching and planning for regulatory changes being initiated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in connection with ship efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. Those efforts at the IMO have already resulted in significant regulatory developments, and planning efforts are underway in many segments of the industry to develop new technologies, alternative fuels, and long-term technical and infrastructure solutions all to pave the way to meet IMO’s carbon intensity and GHG reduction goals. In the last several years, the United States has moved somewhat cautiously at the IMO on GHG emissions reduction goals, and in several respects expressed reservations about the approach being taken by some IMO Member States. Many in the maritime industry were similarly cautious about the ambitious timeline set out by the IMO, given the lack of consensus on technical solution

Mayor Lori Lightfoot famously warned African-American aldermen who dared to vote against her 2021 budget, “Don’t ask me for s -t for the next three years” when it comes to choosing projects for her five-year, $3.7 billion capital plan.
Ald. Jeanette Taylor (20th) was so infuriated, she said it proved Lightfoot was “no better than Daley or Rahm.”
On Monday, that mayoral threat, coming before the closest budget vote Chicago has seen since Council Wars, was all but forgotten at a feel-good press conference launching the five-year capital plan at the start of the 2021 paving season.
There was no more talk about punishing recalcitrant aldermen. Instead, a City Hall news release distributed before the press conference talks about a capital plan that relies on “data to select and prioritize investments across the full array of public assets, address the worst first, along with an emphasis on equity and safety in order to create jobs.”
