·We are coming up to a critical juncture that will determine if global shipping will be able to decarbonise in line with the Paris agreement. Transitioning global shipping from a carbon dependent industry into one that operates without greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a massive task that needs to be driven and supported by an array of mutually reinforcing global regulations.

To succeed global regulations will need to be ambitious, and at this press conference liner shipping bring our perspective on the critical pathways the IMO should consider as it moves forward.

The industry is ready to get down to the hard work of making the transition, and we are calling on the governments of the IMO to put the necessary conditions in place for the maritime sector to do so.
