The reduction of carbon emissions has been a priority in the industry for quite a few years now. However, more than a unifiedpath towards decarbonisation there seems to be a plethora of available roads pursued by different stakeholders of the supply chain working in silos. While shippers are looking ‘greenify’ their supply chains –some of them are even willing to pay more for the reassurance of sustainable transport offerings –, carriers need clear and measurable demand signals in this regard, as well as industry-wide standards. Experts agree that the approach towards green transition must be transversal across all levels of the supply chain, from cargo owners all the way to energy providers. From market-based to regulatory measures, decarbonisation action points to accelerate the energy transition include global carbon pricing, new ship building standards, assessment of fuel life cycles, green fuel supply development, the consolidation of green corridors, investment in R&D, and scaling up the use of port equipment running on green power.Although industry leaders have taken significant steps in this regard, like the coZEV initiative or Maersk’s methanol-powered fleet and its upcoming global bio-methanol supply chain, a holistic approach is necessary if the industry is to stay in track with agreed decarbonisation goals.
What projects, partnerships and initiatives are being launched to decarbonise the maritime and logistics sector? How can other industry players get involved?
How can governments, port authorities, terminal operators, cargo owners, equipment manufacturers and other stakeholders articulate their green efforts?
How critical is a fuel life cycle approach when strategizing decarbonisation action points?
What are the key factors for the success of green corridors?
How can technology, and port infrastructure and equipment enable the decarbonisation of the supply chain?
