DECARBONIZING SHIPPING

Decarbonization at a make-or-break moment

Meet and get inspired by the most influential companies and stakeholders who shape the decarbonization of the global shipping industry. Maersk. Seaspan. DSV. Bunker Holding. World Economic Forum. Just to mention some of the names already on the speakers’ list.

ShippingWatch’s next decarbonization conference takes place in Copenhagen, 30 May 2023, and is kicked off at a make-or-break moment for the industry. IMO is expected to adopt its revised greenhouse gas reduction strategy a few weeks later, in the beginning of July, aiming at zero emissions by 2050.

The one-day conference provides a unique opportunity to learn how standard setting carriers, operators, engine producers, bunker companies and customers contribute to the decarbonization of shipping - through new technologies, new fuels and new strategies.

Efforts to curb emissions have taken an important first leap forward with the entry into force of IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator, the CII regulation, January 1., 2023.

Also, the European Commission is adopting and implementing its two main decarbonization pillars this year: The ETS, the cap-and-trade system, putting a price on each ton of emitted carbon, and FuelEU Maritime, requiring vessels to increasingly sail on greener fuels, year-per-year. And even this year, the tests of the first engine running on ammonia will be concluded heralding a new era of green shipping.

ShippingWatch conducts a series of annual conferences towards 2030 taking stock of how the decarbonization of the shipping industry evolves: If global regulators are able to deliver the required measures? How frontrunners shape decarbonization. How decarbonization creates business opportunities.

The first conference was held in September 2021.
