The president of the Association of Greek shipowners, Melina Travlou, expressed her strong concern that the decarbonization plan promoted by the International Maritime Organization will not be able to achieve its goals.
In an interview with Lloyd’s List and journalist Nigel Lawry, Travlou, did not reject the IMO plan, but she underlined: “The Greek shipping community has a long-standing commitment to decarbonization on a global level of equal competition. In times of challenges and change, it is our unity – our shared vision – that has kept us moving forward. However, at this moment, I cannot help but feel deep concern and uncertainty about whether the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for decarbonization by 2050 and the path chosen towards them are truly achievable. The entire shipping industry is experiencing the same growing sense of anxiety and doubt.”
“I believe this should also concern policymakers, even at this late stage,” she added.
