The shipping industry is responsible for 1 – 2 per cent of global CO2 emissions, a figure that could rise to 17% by 2050 if left unregulated.

50,000 vessels are working around the clock to deliver everything we need.

In April 2018 the International Maritime Organisation set targets to reduce CO2 emissions with 40 per cent by 2030.

Other greenhouse gases will be reduced by 50 per cent by 2050 compared with 2008. And by 2100 emissions shall be zero. However, environmental organisations say these targets are good, but far from the 70 per cent target set by the EU and Pacific Island nations.

Despite innovative solutions to optimize the use of batteries for cargo ships, the shipping industry is nevertheless dependent on the global market for mineral supplies.
