Conference Day One - 6th May 2026

9:15 AM Postponing The Net Zero Framework – What Now?

The IMO’s deferral of the Net-Zero Framework has not stopped the need for certainty; it has shifted the responsibility to industry to define what success looks like when the vote returns in 2026. While many voiced disappointment at the delay, this timeline offers a valuable moment to refine technical guidelines, strengthen implementation clarity, and build the consensus needed for adoption later in 2026. The direction of travel has not changed, and momentum cannot stall. This session explores how the industry can use this time to align, collaborate, and ensure that when the framework returns to the table, it does so on stronger ground, as well as understanding how regulators plan to use this time.
