Navigating the Voyage to Net Zero

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a new course for the global shipping industry — achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by or around 2050, with interim checkpoints of at least 20% reduction by 2030 and 70% by 2040 compared to 2008 levels.
