Geopolitics, climate change, the energy transition and industrial policy are in the news every day. Naturally, these topics also affect the maritime industry.
In many places and in different ways, the sector is working hard to make improvements. New propulsion systems are being developed. New fuels are chosen. Shipbuilding in Europe is getting increasingly more attention through targeted industrial policies. The maritime sector is committed to contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions, and other improvements!
Read more about this in the attached article about a Maritime Master Plan being developed and implemented in the Netherlands.
Also featured in this news update is an article about protesters from outside our sector, who believe change is not happening fast enough. They are calling attention to this in many ways, for instance with actions that hinder shipping in ports and locks.
NNPC Correspondents are ready to assist P&I Clubs, shipowners, charterers, traders, captains and crew members and answer any questions, whether about lock blocking or innovation in the maritime sector.
