In July 2024, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) granted CIMAC the status of ’NGO with consultative status,’ with final approval by the Assembly expected in 2025. This milestone marks a significant step for CIMAC, enhancing our ability to contribute to global maritime policies and standards.
In September 2024, the IMO secretary-general visited our booth at SMM Hamburg, underscoring the importance of CIMAC’s contributions to the maritime industry. We received a warm welcome from IMO personnel, including a dedicated onboarding meeting with external relations officers and an orientation seminar for IMO delegates. These initial engagements set the stage for fruitful collaborations and exchanges. We were able to put the co-operation with IMO into practice very quickly. Initially, we participated in the secretary general’s NGO briefings, gaining valuable insights and sharing updates on our ongoing projects.
Other exiting events followed, such as the reception for World Maritime Day and the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 82 meeting, to name just two. To sum up, practical work has quickly started, and CIMAC has already taken on a great deal of tasks.

CIMAC WG 7 Fuels has released a new guideline titled “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - ISO 6583:2024: Methanol as a Fuel for Marine Applications – General Requirements and Specifications.”
With the publication of ISO 6583:2024 in November 2024, the first standard for methanol as a marine fuel, numerous questions were expected to arise. Consequently, ISO/TC 28/SC4/WG18 requested CIMAC WG 7 Fuels to support the standard and the marine industry by creating a FAQ document. CIMAC WG 7 Fuels formed a sub-group, led by Julia Svensson from MAN Energy Solutions, comprising industry experts from both CIMAC and ISO working groups.
“Methanol is a new fuel in the marine industry, and it is crucial to provide clear answers and clarifications,” said Julia Svensson. “The guideline includes a schematic illustration to explain how to sum up methanol impurities and water content, which can be challenging. It also addresses the differences between the three methanol grades and the necessity of having a standard.”
