On September 28, the World Maritime Day is observed around the globe. There are many sectors in the world that create an impact on day-to-day living, and extensively the entire planet, one such is the maritime sector. Did you know that international shipping transports more than 80 per cent of global trade to people and communities all over the world? The idea for this international day centers around "highlighting the maritime industry's contribution towards the world economy, especially in shipping." In this article, our writer, Queen E. looks at the role of the Maritime sector, its importance, and the theme for this year's World Maritime Day.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), shipping contributes 2.5% of global emissions—more than the combined emissions of Germany, a population of 83 million. It is also considered one of the hardest-to-abate sectors. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations specialised agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine and atmospheric pollution by ships, has been working diligently to improve shipping’s environmental footprint for more than a decade through regulatory action. At the 80th Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 80) meeting in July 2023, the revised IMO GHG Strategy targets were adopted. The maritime sector now aims to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by or around 2050, with indicative checkpoints for 2030 and 2040, reducing GHG emissions by at least 20% (striving for 30%) and 70% (striving for 80%), respectively. All targets are compared to 2008 emission levels. Achieving the new IMO targets, especially 2040 and beyond, will be “hugely challenging” and the entire maritime industry needs a paradigm shift, said Dr Sanjay C Kuttan, chief technology officer (CTO) of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) in his keynote address Maritime Energy Transition Towards Decarbonisation at the Asian Lubricants Industry Association (ALIA) Anniversary Dinner, held at Conrad Orchard Singapore on November 8, 2023. #carboncapturetechnology #decarbonisationstrategies #GCMD #greenshippingfuels #IMOEmissiontargets #low-carbonfuels #marineenvironmentalprotection #maritimeenergytransition #sustainableshipping Follow F&L Asia Ltd. for more industry updates here: https://lnkd.in/fGDzetn Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/g2PczSmRe

For some reason, LinkedIn decided to swallow my earlier post, but I shall persevere! I'm really looking forward to attending this panel discussion next week at London International Shipping Week 2023 since I firmly believe that our sector benefits when it takes stock of the current landscape and makes proactive plans for its future. We are far too reliant on regulation to be a driver when there are many other market forces at play including reputational benefits, financing structures that favour greener investments and of course, changing geopolitical factors. I know that Eleanor Midwinter will be a fantastic moderator and will nurture an insightful conversation - and I'm sure to have a question or two for the panel (once a journo, always a journo at heart). Counting down to event time! #LISW23 #Shipping #insight #analysis
