The event brings together key decision makers and high level policy makers within the maritime sector.
Sir Sohan Roy, President of International Maritime Club and Founder Chairman & CEO of Aries Group inaugurated the ShipTek Conference and delivered the “Key Note” address.
The shipping industry is undergoing many changes to adopt net zero emissions. Although there is a great call for more energy-efficient ships as well as a radical overhaul of the industry, despite many efforts to adopt sustainable and friendly measures, the sector remains which is backward. Efficiency initiatives are not progressing quickly and the result is a trajectory of CO2 emissions that is completely opposite to the drastic cuts in its emissions expected by 2030 in all sectors. Experts took the ShipTek platform to discuss the way forward and how to accelerate the shipping industry’s adoption of methods and measures to adopt net zero emissions. Speakers focused on pressing issues and emerging trends in the industry and discussed how the shipping industry is preparing to face the challenge of decarbonization and the “GO GREEN” initiative. Experts evaluate the efforts made by the shipping industry to fulfill its commitment to the environment, ensuring the sustainability of the sector in the future.
The highly anticipated ShipTek International Awards 2022 are presented to commendable entities that have made significant contributions to the industry and demonstrated innovation, vision and leadership in their efforts.
