Leading maritime stakeholders are rallying around the IMO’s new “net zero” regulatory framework, signaling strong industry alignment with decarbonisation goals. The move is seen as a landmark step in charting a sustainable future for shipping.
The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) new net zero regulatory framework is gaining widespread backing from shipping companies, classification societies, and trade associations. Industry leaders view the framework as a necessary and timely roadmap to guide decarbonisation efforts through unified standards, improved investor confidence, and accelerated innovation. Many have called the development a turning point in maritime climate policy.
While the path to full decarbonisation still faces challenges—such as access to scalable green fuels, infrastructure upgrades, and technology readiness—the collective support signals a readiness to invest in long-term change. Industry stakeholders emphasized the importance of global coordination and policy clarity to enable the transformation of shipping into a low-carbon system.
