ACTA NON VERBA

This past week has witnessed a cry for help—from our youth. They are asking–no, demanding– that the grownups making decisions about their future—their viability on a planet that is under assault—be proactive in their actions as well as their words.

On Monday at the United Nations, the Global Maritime Forum unveiled the “Getting to Zero Coalition” of 79 maritime companies intent on reducing GHGs in shipping. The Ambition Statement calls on our industry community to progressively pursue ways to decarbonize to meet 2030 and 2050 goals for reducing emissions causing climate change. Companies like Cargill, Maersk, Euronav, Lloyd’s Register, ABS, NAMEPA, RightShip and more moved to support initiatives to develop zero- emission vessels (ZEVs) and fuels.

ACTA NON VERBA. Actions not words. Some of you will recognize that as the motto of the United States Merchant Marine Academy at King’s Point. (Some of you know Latin and didn’t need the definition.) All signs point to us taking ACTION today to mitigate our industry’s future impacts on the planet, especially as it relates to climate change.

Like most things in the global construct we call shipping, it isn’t easy. We are talking about a vital component of global trade serving society, providing a necessary service utilizing 90,000 vessels. We are talking about taking risks, making major investments, developing new technologies that have not been deployed in shipping.

As “they” say—if it were simple, everyone would be doing it.

This work is imperative so industry can prepare to meet the goals set forward by IMO on behalf of industry. Not only is it good for the planet, it is good for industry and its role in global society. The world will watch us to see how we respond—let’s be a force for positive change!!! Let us live up to the expectations of our youth that we will find a way!

SHIPPINGInsight will provide us with the forum to discuss, debate and dream. We are truly at maritime’s “monolith moment”.

And don’t forget to watch “2001: A Space Odyssey”!!

Keep optimizing
