Johannah Christensen, the CEO of the Global Maritime Forum, has accepted an invitation to join the leadership council of the newly formed Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA), which aims to speed up the shift towards a low-carbon future by bringing together key stakeholders from heavy-hitting sectors such as energy, industry, and transportation.

The 2023 Annual Progress Report on Green Shipping Corridors shows that green corridor initiatives are expanding and maturing but a number of challenges old and new could still prevent green corridors from unlocking wider maritime decarbonisation.

Anthony S. Papadimitriou, President of the Onassis Foundation, has decided to step down from the Global Maritime Forum Board of Directors.

The Global Maritime Forum Annual Summit 2023 concluded in Athens on a note of optimism and with the announcement of next year’s location: Tokyo.

Leading maritime companies voice their ambition to adopt vessel optimisation strategies that can decrease annual fuel consumption by 20%, reduce annual emissions by more than 200 million tonnes of CO2, and enable the uptake of more expensive, scalable zero-emission fuels in the long run.

A new report from UMAS, Getting to Zero Coalition, and Race to Zero finds that while it is possible for scalable zero-emission fuels to make up 5% of international shipping fuels by 2030 – shipping’s breakthrough target – the window of opportunity will close soon and rapid action is required from the industry.

Eleven leading maritime companies will use one pilot vessel each to test a variety of real-life measures to improve working conditions for seafarers.

The Global Maritime Forum today announced the three winners of its 2023 Future Maritime Leaders essay competition, who have demonstrated outstanding dedication, innovative thinking, and a passion for shaping the future of the maritime industry.

A new analysis from the Global Maritime Forum lays out an ambitious but feasible set of actions for lowering the operating costs of ammonia-powered ships.

Following the decreasing impact of COVID-19, the Global Maritime Forum, together with relevant partners and stakeholders, will explore the possibility of a Neptune Indicator 2.0, collecting and communicating data on seafarer wellbeing to drive improvement actions.
