What are the acceptable thresholds for said “energy efficiency improvements”? What are some of the IMO documentation/submissions/annual audit requirements that we can rely on to ascertain that the borrower meets all the criteria (e.g. EEOI/AER and their calculation methodologies)? How does the borrower attest/evidence that the vessel would be using such biofuels? It is mentioned that if vessels are using biofuels, the biofuels must “be recognised by the IMO as relevant and eligible fuels/energy carriers……taking into account the IMO LCA Guidelines”, can we curate the list of such eligible fuels in the Handbook for easier reference? Under Activity 2.6 Sea and coastal water transport, for the financing of newbuilds ships under amber, how can we make an assessment if it meets the transition criteria given actual fuel use is needed to assess alignment with the IMO revised trajectory? In the event of a revision, such as if the IMO develops a 1.5-degree pathway, what would be the treatment for vessels aligned with the current version of the SAT? The SAT has adopted the same metrics as the EU Taxonomy which are also used by IMO, however it goes beyond what is offered by EU by providing the long-term decarbonization pathway. The EU Taxonomy has specified such criteria will be valid until 31 December 2025, while the SAT has the thresholds until 2050. Are there any thresholds required for infrastructure dedicated to zero-emission aviation (e.g. airports) in terms of energy efficiency or emissions reduction to be eligible as green? Is there any reason why energy efficient/ emission reduction activity for water transport infrastructure is not considered? What does water transport infrastructure include? What is the sunset date for Amber criteria? Under Activity 2.4 Freight Transport by Road, Amber criteria, (1) Can we establish standardised threshold values (by country) clearly for the 50th percentile “reference CO2 emissions of vehicles in the vehicle sub-group to which the vehicle belongs”?

Noted that IMO has a 2008 base year/ baseline and 2030 target year- since the targets are set at a global level and achievement happens in the future (e.g. 2030), how do we evidence that a particular vessel contributes/aligns with it?
