STATEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION OF GREEK SHIPOWNERS, MELINA TRAVLOS

Today’s decision to delay the process at the IMO presents a new opportunity to shape a sustainable and effective international framework that will guide global shipping safely and realistically through the green transition.

The lack of consensus highlighted deep rifts over the proposed Net-Zero Framework regulation, where the positions advanced by the shipping industry were not sufficiently taken into account.

Greek shipping remains firmly committed to the shared goal of decarbonisation and is ready to lead constructively, with evidence-based and unifying proposals, in a global effort to shape a fair, practical and enforceable clean plan, where all stakeholders assume their share of responsibility on the collective path toward the green transition.
