The Maritime Perspectives Series continues with the Future of Shipping: Decarbonisation webinar, jointly organised by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
Despite these challenging times, decarbonisation remains a top priority for the maritime sector. What have we achieved and what more needs to be done? How do we tap synergies and create new opportunities for collaboration? How can regulators provide the enabling environment necessary to progress decarbonisation R&D and technologies? Experts and industry leaders will share their ideas and views on this multifaceted issue that will impact the maritime sector and beyond.
