While the maritime industry discusses short-term measures at the IMO’s MEPC 76, actors in finance, law and shipping explored shipping’s road to decarbonisation and net zero.

Following an ICS call earlier this week, a first-ever meeting of high-level maritime bodies agreed that more investment is needed from governments and shipping to develop the technologies for a greener industry.

Without decisive government signals, declining levels of maritime research and development could jeopardize the shipping industry's ability to decarbonize, warned the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) ahead the IMO's MEPC 76 meeting starting this week. 

Infrastructure transformation and collaboration between all maritime and onshore stakeholders will be key to achieve net zero goals, according to speakers at the ICS Leadership Insights Live.

ICS welcomed the launch of Mission Innovation’s ‘Mission for Shipping’, which aims to enable 5% of the global deep-sea fleet to run on zero-emission fuels by 2030.

A recent study on the upcoming FuelEU Maritime proposal finds that a promotion of biofuels may raise serious enforcement concerns, as a mandatory fuel standard is aimed to apply to fuels purchased also outside the EU. This could jeopardise the achievement of emissions reductions.

The International Group of P&I Clubs, ICS, BIMCO and InterManager have drawn attention to recent ship detentions and crew arrests in Mexico, especially in light of a case where illegal narcotics were found onboard and the vessel and crew were detained. 

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), along with industry and social partners, are encouraging ships in ports globally to sound their horns at 12 noon local time on 25th June, to honour of the International Maritime Organisations’ ‘Day of the Seafarer’.
