Environmental Strategy Part 2/2 - Succeeding in the Transition to Low- and Zero Emission Fuels

Host: Craig Eason Owner/Editorial Director, Fathom World

Guest: Engebret Dahm CEO, Klaveness Combination Carriers

“Profitability and sustainability go hand in hand”

While KCC is committed to transitioning to low and zero-emission fuels within this decade, achieving this ambitious goal requires a concerted global effort. Will it require a global price on carbon? Will customers be willing to cooperate and pay? We may be pushing for this change, but success requires greater collaboration, a different regulatory framework, and technological advancements.

Continuing the conversation around KCC’s newly updated Environmental Strategy for 2023-50, hear from Craig Eason, Editorial Director/Owner at Fathom World, as he takes the helm to quiz CEO Engebret Dahm on our ambitions for the future fuel transition and how we plan to get there.

Discussion points include:

• KCC’s ambitions for getting started with the fuel transition, what can we achieve on our own and what is required from the “outside world”?

• Getting the cargo owners onboard with the journey

• How can KCC make decisions on new vessels now, while ensuring those vessels are still going to be viable in the future?

• Introducing drop-in biofuels to the fuel mix

• The role of the crew onboard in delivering on our targets
