In an open letter to IMO on 3 June, 17 maritime leaders called member states to support the proposal for an R&D fund that would help catalyze new technologies and zero-carbon fuels to decarbonize the industry.

Maersk called for a $450-a-ton carbon tax on shipping fuel that would help bridge the price gap between fossil fuels and greener alternatives.

Talking about the future of decarbonization in shipping, Soren Skou, CEO of A.P. Moller Maersk believes that the solution could be a methanol-ammonia combination.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) will carry out technical, financial and environmental assessments for converting existing ships to vessels that run on zero carbon fuels.
