This quarter has brought significant developments across all major sectors of global shipping – tankers, dry bulk, containers, and LNG/LPG—driven by geopolitical shifts, regulatory uncertainty, and evolving trade dynamics. Amid these changes, a key feature of this edition is the newly introduced Sustainability Section, reflecting the accelerating transition of the maritime industry toward decarbonization. Alternative fuels, energy-efficient technologies, and data-driven […]
This note provides updates on the evolution of border process up to 2024. It shows progress on trade facilitation – through more efficient border processes – is occurring since 2022 in all regions as countries seek to ensure that global supply chains remain efficient, adaptable, and responsive to evolving patterns of trade. New OECD Trade Facilitation Indicators (TFIs) data highlight […]
Electrofuels (also referred as e-fuels or synthetic fuels made from green hydrogen) currently under development are a promising solution to reach the decarbonisation ambitions of the maritime sector provided they deliver real and significant greenhouse gas (GHG) savings. A comprehensive well-to-wake assessment of conservative pathways for marine electrofuels was conducted to evaluate the GHG emission intensities of these fuels according […]
While the industry is rapidly innovating to address its environmental impact, progress on the social front has lagged behind. The maritime sector continues to fall short in worker protection and employee well-being, making a career at sea significantly less appealing and contributing to high attrition rates. This challenge is especially pressing given the labour shortage facing the industry. The International […]
This report shows the scale of the profits the industry has made between 2019-2023 and the small amount of tax paid on those profits, illustrating that a global levy on the industry could assist in contributing to a just and equitable transition as shipping’s climate impacts are tackled. Globally, shipping constitutes 3% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. The International Maritime […]
This Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), evaluates the greenhouse gas emissions of alternative marine fuels, focusing on methanol and ammonia. In response to the increasing need for maritime decarbonisation illustrated by the ambitious 2050 net-zero greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and EU regulations, this Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), commissioned by CMA CGM, evaluates the […]
