The Coalition’s foundation is a declaration that sets out its aims and ambitions. BIMCO provided an industry view during the session and is pleased to have co-sponsored this event.
“The maritime sector recognises that underwater noise from shipping poses an environmental challenge that we must work together to solve. Innovations in ship design, operational practices and routing strategies can reduce our acoustic footprint. But not only that, these measures can help the shipping industry increase efficiency and cut greenhouse gas emissions. The launch of the High Ambition Coalition for a Quiet Ocean is an important step toward aligning industry and governments around practical, science-based solutions that support both sustainable shipping and healthy oceans,” said Dr. Bev Mackenzie, Head of Intergovernmental Affairs.”
