Grimaldi: the decarbonization of shipping is a revolution like the transition from sailing to engine
We must build - he explained - new ships that will use new engines with new fuels
May 20, 2022
The revolution to which Grimaldi referred is that of the decarbonization of shipping. "If we we have to emit zero and transport the loads without emissions - it has explained - we have to build new ships that will use new engines with new fuels'. "The great challenge - he specified - is to find the best solution possible. Nothing excludes that there will be more solutions."
With regard to the commitment to decarbonisation by the shipowners, Grimaldi pointed out that it was precisely the shipowners has urged a decisive impulse in this direction, highlighting that "there has never been an association of entrepreneurs asking the regulator to do more to solve an environmental problem' and the shipping was the first to do so. "So - he added - when it is said that, perhaps, entrepreneurs are not responsible or who are polluters, a lot of work needs to be done beware of this nonsense. The entrepreneurs were super responsible and even want an acceleration on the reduction fuel emissions'.
