Decarbonisation and CII

Decarbonisation is the most important challenge the world is facing. The shipping, offshore and transportation industry is no exception to this.

Our goal is to help our members with a smooth transition.

On this page, you can find links to all of BIMCO's information and advice about the different aspects of decarbonisation – from a contractual clause for ETS to webinars on alternative fuels.

The aspects of CII which Lars Robert Pedersen, Deputy Secretary General of BIMCO explained include:

• How does this work when I charter out my ship?
• What are the consequences of being rated low?
