In the fight against climate change, shipping has a significant role to play, despite being the world's most energy efficient mode of transport.

Shipping is under increasing global pressure to manage its carbon emissions following regulation from the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), as well as commercial pressure from the charterers.

These and future regulations, combined with record high fuel costs and pressure from charterers, will lead to important financial, technological and operational changes along with commercial benefits and new opportunities for an industry in transition over the coming years.
