Green Shipping: An Investment Goldmine
At the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), a basic framework has been established. Its pivotal focus – is to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transportation. Based on ZESTA Secretary General, Madadh Maclaine’s words, this crucial decision will instill faith in investment funds, encouraging them to pour finances into the shipping industry.
Setting Sails to Climate History
With the adoption of the revised blueprint outlining strategies to mitigate GHG emissions from shipping, a remarkable page in “Climate history” is being authored. Maclaine, conversing with Ship & Bunker, affirmed this, suggesting that the sector now offers the kind of security investors seek. She confidently remarked, “The numbers that we have are high enough to trigger investment.”
Heading Towards A Sustainable Maritime Future
By the year 2040, Maclaine predicts a reduction of GHG emissions in the ballpark of 70% to 80%. This colossal decrease, or “De-emissioning”, manifests as a significant golden chance for those with deep pockets and a knack for astute investments. According to Maclaine, the daunting task ahead involves extending the diplomatic rhetoric into concrete figures. Figures that engineers, accountants, and investors can use to hammer vital decisions and embed them into elaborate spreadsheets.
Let The Profit Set Sail
Maclaine is poised to engage in distinct dialogues with investors and finance experts to align the projects that will meet these ambitious targets. She envisions structuring each project meticulously to nail these standards and go above and beyond. For keeping our waterways clean and meeting sustainability ratios is not just about numbers; it’s also about future generations.
