further improving the energy efficiency of ships; developing additional means – such as market- based measures – to further reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from ships; preventing and controlling the transfer of invasive aquatic

species through ships’ ballast water and ships’ hull fouling, which are estimated to cost around USD 100 billion per year; and addressing the technical, operational and environmental aspects of the ever-increasing size of ships.
