French classification society Bureau Veritas (BV) is to play a central role in a new French maritime institute for decarbonisation that will seek to coordinate the country’s maritime cluster.
Launched on the back of a recent One Ocean Summit in Brest, T2EM — Coalition Pour la Transition Eco-energetique du Maritime — it is enthusiastically backed by President Emmanuel Macron, whose administration wants to ensure the country plays a key role in helping shipping to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
