MEPC 81 — shaping a difficult, disruptive, and dear transition
In this episode of Future Bound, we explore the implications of the MEPC 81 meeting in March 2024, which further developed a selection of so-called "mid-term measures" that aim to force the shipping industry towards its recently-strengthened decarbonisation goals.
The episode is hosted by Peter Rayers and features Roger Strevens, VP Regulatory & Environmental Affairs at Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Chair of the World Shipping Council's Environmental & Climate Council. Roger provides perspective from and on the shipping industry, and the associations that bridge the industry with its main regulator; the IMO.
Discussion points include:
Now that the dust has settled from MEPC81, what happens next?
Why exactly are certain owners & operators interested in developing strong regulations?
Energy efficiency, the fuel transition, and closing the gap.
Broader implications of a growing body of environmental regulation: compliance, risk management, and digitalisation.
