WEBINAR ENDED
The recent proposed inclusion of shipping in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) has stirred hot debates and discussions of just how this regulation will impact the sector if ratified for implementation in 2022.

With pre-existing global agreements from IMO’s MEPC72 meeting in 2018 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050, will the EU’s proposal hinder or help?

Our panel of experts will address concerns that the application of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to the shipping industry may impede the progress being made by operators in the global reduction of CO2 emissions.
