OceanKind
Commercial modernisation of international shipping - dragging shipping kicking and screaming into the 21st century
This project takes place in collaboration with the University College London and the University of Rotterdam. Its goal is to address and advance within the decarbonization of the international shipping industry, which is responsible for up to 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although the International Maritime Organization’s 2023 GHG Strategy marks a significant step in this direction, structural challenges within the maritime transport industry – such as its reliance on traditional contracting, complex offshore financing and information gaps – hinder effective action. To bridge this gap, the project will analyze key risks and market failures, including informational asymmetries, split incentives and accountability limitations. By providing new insights on e.g. stranded asset risks, climate litigation and emerging zero-emission technologies, the project aims to support informed investment decisions aligned with climate goals. This approach aims to help establish a clear regulatory framework that makes non-compliance costly, reduces liability shifting and promotes cooperative practices.
