The last time the shipping industry had a true fuel switch is almost, but not quite, beyond living memory. Coal was the hot topic until the 1920s, and from then on we have only known a maritime world singularly dominated by oil (read more on historic fuel switches on page 34). It is now looking more likely that this decade is going to be among the last where oil domination continues. The IMO's greenhouse gas strategy has put down a marker for the shipping industry, making it a great challenge for this generation to find a pathway toward future decarbonization. However, this is aided by the fact that decarbonization is becoming a motivating and driving factor for banks, investors, and customers further up the supply chain and they are now starting to act on it. |
