As with most industries at present, shipping’s need to reduce its emissions is accelerating.

Notwithstanding the ESG goals of individual businesses, the backdrop of societal pressure is augmented by regulatory bodies increasing the environmental requirements of shipping — such as those from the IMO.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is a United Nations agency which regulates shipping from safety matters, to security, to, as stated, environmental concerns. The IMO’s GHG emissions reduction targets state that shipping must reduce its CO2 emissions by at least 40% by 2030.
