Host: Peter Rayers Head of Decarbonization, Klaveness Combination Carriers

Guest: Roger Strevens VP Regulatory & Environmental Affairs, Wallenius Wilhelmsen

In this episode of Future Bound, we explore the implications of the MEPC 81 meeting in March 2024, which further developed a selection of so-called "mid-term measures" that aim to force the shipping industry towards its recently-strengthened decarbonisation goals.

The episode is hosted by Peter Rayers and features Roger Strevens, VP Regulatory & Environmental Affairs at Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Chair of the World Shipping Council's Environmental & Climate Council. Roger provides perspective from and on the shipping industry, and the associations that bridge the industry with its main regulator; the IMO.

Discussion points include:

• Now that the dust has settled from MEPC81, what happens next?

• Why exactly are certain owners & operators interested in developing strong regulations?

• Energy efficiency, the fuel transition, and closing the gap.

• Broader implications of a growing body of environmental regulation: compliance, risk management, and digitalisation.

Guest: Eman Abdalla Vice Chair, Sea Cargo Charter and Global Operations & Supply Chain Director, Cargill

In this episode of Future Bound, join Sea Cargo Charter (SCC) Vice Chair Eman Abdalla as we navigate its journey since launch in October 2020.

The SCC, covering approximately 18% of 2022's total bulk cargo by sea, represents a global framework that unites 37 charterers and operators - with an aim to redefine responsible chartering in the maritime sector in line with international climate goals.

Hear from Abdalla on where the SCC stands today in terms of progress, key lessons, and how it continues to provide a valuable platform to members including founding signatory KCC.

Discussion points include:

• The SCC explained

• Since the SCC’s inception, what are the lessons learned and has been achieved to date?

• How SCC ambitions align with IMO’s latest strategy

• Will stricter decarbonization regulations render voluntary initiatives such as SCC superfluous?

• How the SCC answers critics on motives and progress

• Being a forum made up of several major players in the industry, where could the SCC leverage that strength to do more beyond transparency and reporting?
