In June, on the occasion of the centenary, the ICS will host a high-level summit on the decarbonization of shipping
Poulsson: We need to agree on a concrete path towards a future based on reality and not on wishful thinking
February 9, 2022
"The change - underlined Poulsson - will come only if we work harder than usual. The industry needs of clarity, while the political risk and that linked to the investments are always high. If we want to unlock the situation and define the initiatives, we must unite to give shape to a future that works for everyone".
ICS anticipated that at the summit, which will be chaired by the former British Minister of Shipping, Nusrat Ghani, will be invited representatives of the shipping sector, ministers of all nations, representatives of the port, energy and financial as well as those of trade unions and foundations. The agenda will focus on identifying the next concrete steps to be taken to advance the solutions for the decarbonization of shipping identified by the sector last year, including investment in research and development, the identification and prioritisation of fuels best suited for the decarbonisation of the maritime transport and guarantees for a fair outcome and the necessary transition to a zero-emission future.
The Italian Emanuele Grimaldi, who from June will take over the presidency of the International Chamber of Shipping, highlighted that "by 2050 there are less than thirty years and there is no time to be missed. Therefore - he specified - ICS is convening experts and leaders who can turn speech into action. What highlighted at the conference "Shaping the future of shipping" in Glasgow (held last November 6, ed), we will know if the efforts of the maritime sector will only be successful when the transition will really be underway. This meeting in June among authoritative experts from the maritime industry and other sectors and of governments will be a decisive point in the transition green shipping».
