Together with around fifty other maritime parties, ports, and shipping companies, we signed a Call to Action during the week of COP29 to accelerate the use of zero-emission fuels in shipping. The aim is to make at least 5 percent, and preferably 10 percent, of shipping fuels emission-free by 2030.

Inland shipping October 22 . 2024
Recent years have shown that climate change also has its effects on inland shipping. Both high and low tides can disrupt inland navigation. Effects can include not being able to sail in January because the Oranjesluis was blocked, or sailing with less cargo per ship.
