Maritime Sustainability Q&A Series: Sustainable Ships Hosts Insightful Session with Normec Verifavia Experts
Normec Verifavia was honored to be invited as expert speakers, sharing insights on the legal challenges and practical implications of evolving maritime emissions frameworks.
The session focused on two crucial regulatory pillars:
- The European Union's FuelEU maritime regulations, specifically the Greenhouse Gas Fuel Standard (GFS).
- The International Maritime Organization's Net Zero strategy (MEPC 83).
These regulations have different scopes but overlapping implications for marine stakeholders. The discussion provided participants with the latest information on MEPC 83 and FuelEU to better understand how to navigate these changing frameworks and better align their compliance and decarbonization strategies.
The panel featured Vincent Doedée, founder of Sustainable Ships, who moderated the Q&A, alongside Normec Verifavia experts Yuvraj Thakur, VP Commercial & Managing Director, and Rajat Bishnoi, Shipping Emissions & Performance Director, who shared insights on verification challenges, regulatory developments, emissions monitoring and compliance strategies.
Together they addressed questions from participants and explored the similarities and differences between FuelEU's GFS and IMO's MEPC 83 framework, providing practical guidance for ship owners, operators and regulators.
The session attracted a diverse audience of ship owners, fleet managers, sustainability officers and regulators who actively engaged with the expert panel. Participants praised the clear explanations and practical insights, which increased their confidence in regulatory compliance and decarbonization.
This successful Q&A highlights the value of the collaboration between Sustainable Ships, a digital sustainability hub, and Normec Verifavia, a leader in regulatory verification and consulting, working together to support the sustainable future of the maritime industry.
Looking ahead
Building on this success, Sustainable Ships and Normec Verifavia plan to continue working together to deliver more sessions in the Maritime Sustainability Q&A series to help the maritime community stay informed, compliant, and ready to meet the challenges of a net zero future.
