Maritime decarbonization – actions by cargo owners – the shippers’ perspective
In the book (“maritime decarbonisation: practical tools, case studies & decarbonisation enablers”, Oct 2023, book info), experts and industry leaders explore different scenarios, value chain designs, enablers & partnership models to develop frameworks and recommendations on how to effectively work and make progress.
Several in our community have contributed to this book, and F&L’s own input – chapter 21, actions by cargo owners – the shippers’ perspective – shares insight and examples of how different shippers are driving change. Talk to us for more info.
Part 2 – what efforts are required to bring such initiatives to life for the transport & logistics sector?
Part 1 – This article focuses on the most relevant initiatives, the five zero (5Zs) emission initiatives contributing to decarbonizing logistics and transport to place these initiatives into the industry context and reflect on them in light of the ongoing industry discussions and developments. We also indicate what each action may mean for the sector.

F&L’s November conference (2020) shared where industry is at in the journey towards profitability / longevity of organisations and the risk /resilience of the supply chain in that mix. 28 minute update from Prof Alan McKinnon, Wolfgang Lehmacher, Willem Bulthuis and Covestro:
F&L engages with the EU, the World Economic Forum, the World Trade Organisation, the World Meteorological Organisation, the United Nations trade development team, the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation and a host of others. The goal is not to lobby, but to help build understanding of the very real challenges that supply chain leaders face today so that we can move forward together in the same direction.
Business leaders face moving targets: the challenge of sustaining our organisations into the future, delivering value for all stakeholders, is vast and the scale, scope and complexity of transformation is considerable. By sharing ideas, information, learning and even resources we can achieve things together that we could never do alone.
