Guest: Rasmus Bach Nielsen Vice Chair, Sea Cargo Charter | Global Head of Fuel Decarbonization, Trafigura
“Only when we have transparency can we start to drive behavioral change”In the absence of sufficient regulations and a global price on carbon, the shipping industry’s decarbonization agenda is spurned forward by its front runners and voluntary initiatives such as the Sea Cargo Charter (SCC).
With 34 members made up of charterers and operators, the Sea Cargo Charter establishes a framework for assessing and disclosing the climate alignment of ship chartering activities around the globe. It sets a benchmark for what it means to be a responsible charterer in the maritime sector and provides actionable guidance on how to achieve this.
In this episode, Vice Chair Rasmus Bach Nielsen outlines how this standardized emissions reporting format is more than just a ‘tick the box’ exercise and the global necessity of driving transparency around emissions.
