In 2025, new and updated maritime regulations are in place that all shipowners need to understand. These rules focus on reducing emissions, protecting the environment, ensuring crew welfare, and improving safety and security on board. Staying compliant not only avoids fines but also helps ships operate more efficiently.
Prime Ship Management Ltd. supports shipowners, charterers, and investors in staying ahead of these requirements.
Emissions and Energy Efficiency
New rules from the IMO aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions from ships.
EEXI: Ships must meet energy efficiency standards, which may require engine upgrades or technical changes.
CII: Ships are rated on carbon performance. Poorly rated ships must show how they plan to improve.
EU ETS: Ships calling at EU ports must now pay for their emissions through the emissions trading system.
PSM helps you track performance, plan improvements, and stay compliant.
Ballast Water Treatment
The D2 standard now applies to all ships. It requires having an approved Ballast Water Treatment System on board and properly maintained. Failing to comply can lead to port delays or penalties.
PSM ensures your system is working and your crew is trained.
Crew Welfare
Updates to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) focus on:
Reliable internet access for crew
Support for mental health
On-time payment of wages
PSM supports full MLC compliance, ensuring crew wellbeing.
Safety Equipment and Inspections
Recent SOLAS changes require updated fire safety systems, life-saving equipment, and allow remote inspections in some cases. Crews must be trained on these updates.
PSM keeps your safety systems and crew up to date.
Cybersecurity
Cyber risk management is now a requirement. Ships must protect their systems and train their crew to handle cyber threats.
PSM includes cybersecurity in your Safety Management System.
