MEPC 83: A pause for policy, not for progress

In this episode, Steen Sander Jacobsen, Technical Director at Njord, joins us to unpack what MEPC 83 means for the industry, and why waiting for regulation could mean missing the opportunity that’s right in front of us.

While the IMO’s Net Zero framework discussions have been extended into next year, Steen shares a reminder: “Regulation will evolve, but efficiency already makes business sense today.”

In this conversation, we cover:

1. The significance of MEPC 83’s delayed outcome for shipowners

2. What actions can be taken under existing frameworks like EU ETS or FuelEU Maritime

3. The growing collaboration between shipowners, charterers, financiers, and ports

4. Why planning your next drydocking cycle could define your decarbonization journey

The path to net zero may not yet be fully mapped, but every voyage starts with a first move.
