Decarbonisation poses questions across the shipping sector. How do operators decarbonise shipping safely and sustainably? And how does the sector find commercially viable routes to decarbonisation?

The 2020s will be a critical time for answering these questions. Vessels built today will still be in service in 2030 — the first of the IMO’s decarbonisation milestones — and investments made over the next 10 years will still be having an impact in 2050, when shipping’s emissions need to have halved.
