It's the slow steaming, stupid!

The topic of decarbonisation sent shipowner John Michael Radziwill off on a rant on Wednesday on the closing panel of Marine Money's annual London conference, held virtually this year because of Covid-19.

Radziwill, chief executive of Oslo-listed dry owner GoodBulk, turned passionate on a panel with a heavy carbon-reduction theme, noting that shipping had actually managed to reduce emissions from a 2008 baseline despite operating a substantially larger fleet.
