Act Now To Save Our Planet

|August 2022
Every minute and every drop of fuel counts in the urgent fight against climate change.
-
Last year, we launched the distress signal Save Our Planet - represented by the morse code SOP to highlight our concerns about the climate crisis and urge the maritime industry to move rapidly on decarbonization. Now, as we leave behind us yet another summer marked by unprecedented climate emergencies around the globe, we are once again ringing the alarm and calling upon the whole industry - to take decisive actions to accelerate the green transition.
The number of stakeholders sharing our concerns is ever-increasing, and institutional support is strongly spreading. The International Maritime Organization made its clear stance on greening operations earlier this year by announcing the 2022 World Maritime Theme of "New Technologies for Greener Shipping - and No One Left Behind." This theme recognizes that the green transition must be inclusive in order to succeed. That is a vital point. If the transition does not encompass the entire global fleet and all its stakeholders, we cannot hope to reach Net Zero emissions.
