The Royal Academy of Engineering and BAE SYSTEMS jointly hosted this online event. Delegates heard from leaders in industry and research about the top priorities for achieving a sustainable shipping sector and how they are being tackled.
A sustainable shipping sector needs to rapidly decarbonise alongside addressing other social and economic issues such as the end-of-life impacts of decommissioned ships and off-shore structures. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for decarbonising shipping, but it is clear the industry needs to end its reliance on fossil fuels and shift to zero and low carbon fuels and develop the infrastructure required for this.
