HR 4341 United States House · 119th Congress

International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act of 2025

This bill establishes fees on carbon emissions and air pollutants from maritime shipping, with reporting requirements starting in 2027. Ship operators must report detailed voyage data including fuel consumption, ports visited, and cargo details, while importers of cargo bound for the U.S. face similar reporting and fee obligations. Revenue from these fees funds specific decarbonization programs: 25% supports modernizing Jones Act vessels, 25% funds low-carbon fuel research, 10% each goes to harbor craft and ferry electrification, and 5% each supports workforce development and air monitoring in port communities. The bill creates a structured funding mechanism to reduce emissions from shipping while requiring transparency through comprehensive reporting.
