Mapping the journey to decarbonisation for the maritime and logistics sectors

The maritime and logistics sectors stand at a critical juncture, navigating a complex and transformative path toward a decarbonised future. This journey is defined by ambitious strategic milestones embedded within a robust framework of international agreements, stringent regional regulations, and rapid technological advancements.

Initiatives like the IMO Checkpoints for 2030 and 2040 and FuelEU Maritime Regulation target emissions and emissions intensity reductions as a complement to initiatives like the U.S. Zero-Emission Shipping Mission, which is focused on increased zero-emission fuel uptake. 

Regulatory frameworks, significant investment in R&D, technology scalability, and collaborative and cross-sector platforms will all have a role to play in amplifying progress and much-needed results. Projections anticipate that by 2040, 30-40% of the global fleet will be powered by greener fuels.

Delivering on this vision will require urgent alignment between policy, innovation, and investment - charting a course for maritime and logistics to become engines of a low-carbon global economy.
