Decarbonising shipping - the contractual challenge

14 March 2024

The complexities of maritime decarbonisation are underscored by the industry's multifaceted challenges in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union (EU) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have implemented new rules to address this imperative. The EU and the IMO have set ambitious emission reduction targets for the shipping sector, encouraging the adoption of alternative fuels and energy-efficient technologies. Simultaneously, the IMO’s strategy for the reduction of GHG Emissions from ships outlines a phased approach towards decarbonisation. These regulations necessitate significant technological and operational changes for shipowners, charterers, and operators. Achieving compliance involves navigating intricate compliance frameworks, especially considering the diverse nature of vessels and trades. As the maritime industry steers through these uncharted waters, collaboration, innovation, and a holistic understanding of the regulatory landscape are crucial for a sustainable and decarbonised future. The maritime industry will need to consider whether the contractual structures that have been in place for over a century suit the journey toward decarbonisation.
