The decarbonization of shipping is a complex riddle that represents a significant challenge for the entire industry.

Solving it is beyond the reach of any individual or organization.

To illustrate both the scale of the challenge and the best hope for a solution, ABS and Tradewinds have put together a panel of leading voices who are already working together to deliver a vision of a sustainable future.

Representatives from ABS, Maersk Line, Cargill, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will analyze the impact of global trade evolution and the potential for industry partnerships to accelerate shipping’s sustainability transition.

Trade Evolution and Partnership, moderated by Lindsey Keeble of Watson Farley & Williams, will help shipowners and operators assess their options for the transition to low-carbon operations.
