US president claims to be ‘viscerally angry’ about the container linesthat he blames for inflation, soaring freight rates, supply chain congestion and much in between.

In the absence of global regulations to force the industry to clean up, governments and companies hope voluntary green corridors can help test zero-carbon technologies. Yet there are limits to what can be done without a carbon levy or worldwide rules
Short-term measures are expected to cause compliance headaches while doing little to cut ship emissions; there is progress on mid-term carbon price plans, but the big fights are yet to come

The gulf between action needed to decarbonise shipping and regulations to drive transition is vast — but with the right mix, it can be achieved

‘The shipping industry itself has set itself a pretty mealy-mouthed target of 5% by 2030. I think that 15% is a respectable target. By 2030 we shouldn’t have any engines which are not dual-fuel capable so that by 2040, we’ve got a shipping industry which can go carbon neutral.’

‘We are at an inflection point. First mover activities are going to inform and inspire the rest of the industry. They need to be enabled and supported, meaning that individual governments need to engage in this process and make sure that we have regulation in place that supports it in the interim until we get global regulation in place.’
‘We need to get closer to our customers and co-operate on making this industry more efficient. Because there’s so much waste. The moment you put a value on carbon and decreasing the carbon footprint, I think that people have a tendency to be more friendly, open to discuss and see how they can co-operate together.’
‘There are some tough decisions to be made, but I think the reality is the old business models that we had are not going to survive this and I think that a lot of companies will have to figure out how they actually deal with this. So, I really want to see that happening between us and our clients and I believe that that will mean a dramatic change of the contractual relationship that exists between the two of us.’
‘The world is changing, and shipping must change with it,’ says Emanuele Grimaldi, managing director of the Grimaldi Group, who took over as chair of the International Chamber of Shipping this week. He joins the podcast to discuss his agenda, seafarers, decarbonisation and why he is confident that shipping will remain a force for good on the international stage
