William Boatwright

Senior Partnerships Manager - Strategic Commercial Partnerships DS Norden

Conference Day One - 6th May 2026

12:10 PM Who Will Pay for the Cost of Compliance – Charter / Operator Joint Missions?

As it is increasingly realised that ship operators will need to invest in multifuel fleets for compliance, the question remains simple but unavoidable - who actually pays for this? While the likely outcome is that charterers/ cargo owners, and ultimately the consumer will take the cost burden, this session will explore further how costs are shared, and how this shapes investment decisions.

- Should charterers who fund the fuel also drive demand for alternative fuels and secure future-proofed tonnage?

- Does their role extend to underwriting long term offtake agreements and supporting infrastructure build-out?

- For operators, how far should compliance penalties and fuel bills be pushed downstream?
