The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping announced a collaboration by signing a Knowledge Partnership Agreement, committing to a long-term strategic collaboration to accelerate the maritime industry’s decarbonisation efforts.
Through this partnership, the two centres will share best practices and knowledge, and explore opportunities for low- and zero-carbon technologies by combining the research capabilities of the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping and the domain and technical expertise of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation to identify opportunities and deliver pilot projects.
This partnership can also add value in identifying and creating green corridors to meaningfully scale pilots and demonstrations.
Commenting on the collaboration, Professor Lynn Loo, CEO of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation said:
We see our work in deploying solutions and financing projects as complementing the Maersk Center’s research and analyses. Learnings from our pilots and trials can be inputs for future research forming a feedback loop to refine to the sector’s projected pathways to netzero
Moreover, Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO of Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, added that:
We are very happy to welcome the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation as a Knowledge Partner. We are facing a systemic and industry-wide transformation, and by collaborating with the GCMD, we are significantly increasing our chances for accelerating the transition
