We are delighted to present our Maritime decarbonisation series, “The Long Road to Net Zero.” for 2025. This series will address the key challenges facing the shipping sector as it strives for net zero, including an exploration of the legal and regulatory issues involved.

The first of the topics covered in our series are outlined below, these are however subject to change to reflect developments in the rapidly evolving sector.

Each seminar concludes with drinks and canapes. Spaces are limited so please book early to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you there.

6pm – 8.30pm
This session will explore the use of AI in the maritime sector and how it can help the sector to reach the decarbonisation objectives set.

6 May 2025 | Carbon Capture and Storage: financing on board carbon
6pm – 8.30pm
As pressure grows at supra-national, national and regional levels for shipping to decarbonise rapidly, onboard carbon capture is starting to be seen as a meaningful, and long lasting, solution to help reduce vessel emissions. In this session we explore the different options for financing on-board carbon capture systems.
