Per Martin Tanggaard has read the headlines on Splash carefully this week. The study commissioned by the Getting to Zero Coalition that suggests there’ll need to be an outlay in excess of $1trn for shipping to achieve the IMO’s decarbonisation goals has got the head of Nor-Shipping excited.
In conversation with Maritime CEO, Tanggaard is keen to emphasise the scale of the opportunity facing the shipping industry as it looks to decarbonise. The Nor-Shipping director believes there’s a danger that this week’s high-profile report, which created headlines across the world, could be viewed with “unhelpful pessimism” rather than acting as a catalyst for required industry action.
