Of course, there is value in becoming a more sustainable and socially responsible business, and for the maritime industry, potential cost savings and brand differentiation might be the most valuable aspects of a developed CSR policy. This is recognised by many in the maritime industry, but in the past few years, regulations have forced stakeholders to think about the industry’s processes and its impact on the environment carefully.
At the 72nd meeting of the Marine Environment Protection Committee, the IMO’s stance on green shipping has been further established, so in this paper, we look into the key regulations that should be on the radar of every maritime stakeholder, such as the 2020 sulphur cap, sustainable and responsible ship recycling, and the Ballast Water Management Convention’s Experience Building Phase.
We sought the expertise of:
- Erik Lewenhaupt, Head of Sustainability, Stena Line Group
- Unni Einemo, IMO Representative, Communications Manager, International Bunker Industry Associaton (IBIA)
- Maria Skipper Schwenn, Executive Director Security, Environment and Maritime Research, Danish Shipping
- Giles Candy, Owner, Giles Environmental
- Henning Gramann, CEO, GSR Services GmbH
- And many more maritime experts!
