## Resource

A short DeepDraft technical briefing on what MEPC 84 actually changed for ships. The IMO Net-Zero Framework remains unresolved, but the North-East Atlantic ECA is moving toward enforcement from 2028. For Masters, Chief Engineers and operators, the issue is practical: fuel planning, changeover timing, tank segregation, MARPOL samples, engine-room records and Port State Control exposure.
