In an exclusive interview to SAFETY4SEA, Mr Knut Arild Hareide from the Norwegian Maritime Authority and Mr. Georgios Plevrakis from ABS introduce the Maritime Technologies Forum (MTF) and explain that it will focus on industry’s essential topics for the future, such as energy efficiency, alternative fuels, and autonomous ships.

It could take five years or more for goals to be met, so there is no time to lose in setting out a plan to reduce carbon emissions, writes Georgios Plevrakis, Director of Global Sustainability, ABS

The shipping industry must consider multiple factors in moving towards decarbonisation, including the future demand for energy and the varied impact on short and deepsea fleet, writes Georgios Plevrakis, Director of Global Sustainability at ABS.
