COLLABORATING TO DRIVE THE GLOBAL DECARBONISATION OF THE MARITIME INDUSTRY
The postponed adoption of the IMO's Net-Zero Framework has deprived the maritime industry of long-awaited certainty. Without a global standard on carbon pricing, GHG reduction and emissions targets, the critical momentum of low-carbon fuels is under serious threat.
Global regulation might be on pause, but the industry – and Global Maritime Decarbonisation – certainly is not. Vessels are on order, infrastructure is being built – and compliance costs are already being levied under EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime. The absence of regulatory certainty does not stop the transition; it only increases the risk of getting it wrong.
Our mission this year goes far beyond comparing fuel viability. The focus now is on determining which fuel strategies will yield the lowest commercial risk under uncertain policy conditions. Our job is to deliver industry certainty amid regulatory uncertainty, not just to support the ongoing rollout of LNG, but to mitigate risk for those long offtake agreements which alone can deliver alternative fuels too.
In the absence of global regulation, informal industry collaboration is the only viable way forward. No matter the outcome in October 2026, GMD can help future-proof your sustainable fuel pathway.

TWO PIONEERING SUMMITS. ONE LANDMARK EVENT.
The co-location of the LNG Bunkering Summit and Alternative Marine Fuels Summit brings together focussed sessions under the Global Maritime Decarbonisation brand to deliver tailored sessions and expert thought leaders across the maritime industry.
Join the discussion at the LNG Bunkering Summit, with focused content designed to accelerate your pathway to LNG adoption, build consensus in the absence of global policy and develop the infrastructure required to maximise availability.
The Alternative Marine Fuels Summit offers a unique forum to build viability and business case for alternative marine fuels. With dedicated case studies from AMF pioneers, this is your platform for building long-term readiness for low and no-carbon shipping.
JOIN THE DEBATE SO THAT YOU CAN:
Understand how the MEPC outcome will impact shipowner fuel strategies, LNG, and future fuels, by examining the Net-Zero Framework post-April and using 2025 to set conditions for a clear October decision.
Inform decisions on future fuel pathway investments and costs, by hearing from suppliers on their plans for future biofuel and clean fuel availability and production developments.
Collaborate with those across the value chain to suggest solutions for the lack of global certification standards, to increase the viability of low-carbon fuels available across the globe.
Learn what developments are being made in the Ammonia and Methanol space, to strengthen the safety and operation of these less mature fuels, and understand how maritime fuel supply is impacted by increasing fuel demand in other industries.
Create more certainty in the future by connecting with those throughout the value chain, to understand how their risks are managed with offtake agreements, and allow for better contracting for the development of low-carbon fuels

INFOGRAPHIC
From Waiting to Action: How the IMO’s Net Zero Review Will Redefine Maritime Progress
The IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has now met, and the industry is waiting to hear what its October 2025 decision means for shipping’s path to Net Zero. As the Committee reviews the Net-Zero framework and the implementation of new carbon intensity measures, one thing is clear: the pace of maritime decarbonisation is about to accelerate.
To stay compliant and competitive, you need to know exactly what’s changing, when, and how it impacts your operations. This Decarbonisation Key Dates Timeline infographic lays it all out clearly, helping you prioritise near-term actions while preparing for the next wave of IMO-driven regulation.
