DNV and the World Maritime Merchants Forum (WMMF) have worked together to create the Net-Zero Guide: Practical approaches for shipping companies.
The maritime industry is entering a decisive decade of transformation, driven by evolving regulations, commercial pressures, and a general global shift towards reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The report provides a structured framework to help shipowners, operators, and managers translate decarbonization objectives into actionable strategies. It focuses on how to align fleet operations, investments, and value-chain partnerships with emerging regulatory and market expectations.
As regulatory and commercial frameworks grow increasingly complex and fragmented, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, the Guide introduces a clear three-step approach to help companies plan and implement decarbonization measures across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons.
In its executive summary, the guide recommends a three-step framework to help shipping companies translate decarbonization objectives into executable actions across their fleets including assessment, strategic planning, and implementation and monitoring.
