Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. Key stakeholders are looking at ways to build a business case for sustainable maritime transport.
In October 2022, the Port of Gothenburg and the Port of Rotterdam signed a memorandum of understanding for a green corridor by finding ways to stimulate the use of new alternative fuels. What has happened since? Can we learn from best practices taken from existing green corridors? And can maritime green corridors become an important tool to accelerate decarbonization in the maritime transport sector?
Port of Gothenburg and Port of Rotterdam share their insights.
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. But what are some of the challenges that key stakeholders experience today? What are the costs involved and how can the burden be shared? What are some incentives needed to take first steps?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we bring together ports, shipowners, cargo owners and regulatory authorities to discuss the state of play in the transition to sustainable shipping.
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. The EU is well underway to adopt the Fit for 55 package, containing proposals that set intra-EU shipping on the pathway to complete decarbonization by 2050.
What does the Fit for 55 package entail for actors in the maritime transport industry that operate in the EU? Does it create sufficient incentives to initiate the development of new fuels and technologies before 2030?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we will look at these questions together with experts in the field.

The EU is well underway to adopt the Fit for 55 package, containing proposals that set intra-EU shipping on the pathway to complete decarbonization by 2050. Meanwhile, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced a rating system as a stimulus to reduce carbon intensity, with the goal of cutting emissions from international shipping by at least half by 2050.
What are the latest developments in IMO’s greenhouse gas-strategy? Is it possible to get all countries on board with its sustainability goals? How does Fit for 55 affect what IMO is doing? And does the IMO CII regulation truly create a level playing field for shipping companies and cargo owners around the world?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we will look at these questions together with experts in the field.
”IMO – the International Maritime Organization – is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine and atmospheric pollution by ships. IMO’s work supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.” (Source: IMO.org)
Opening by Bengt van Loosdrecht, Ambassador for the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Sweden, on solving the global challenges of our time and the importance of a sustainable maritime transport sector.
An introduction to Baltic Sea trade in the 17th century and the maritime relations between Sweden and the Netherlands by Håkan Strömberg, Historian at the Museum of Gothenburg.
The relations between Sweden and the Netherlands go back four hundred years, when King Gustav II Adolf invited Dutch city planners and tradesmen to build Gothenburg. Since then, our countries have developed strong ties through maritime trade, industrialization and innovation. Who were the key players in these developments? What essential goods did Sweden export and what expertise did the Dutch bring? Historian Håkan Strömberg will talk us through in a concise and humorous presentation.

Att minska byggbranschens klimatutsläpp står högt upp på mångas agenda. Seminariets mål är diskutera högeffektiva lösningar för klimatförändringar och långsiktig samexistens för att inspirera byggbranschen att arbeta tillsammans med ekologi för att föra hållbar ekonomi till alla samhällssektorer.
Under seminariet diskuterar de inbjudna talarna vad som krävs för att accelerera den gröna omställningen – med utgångspunkt i allt från ekonomiska incitament och tydliga målformuleringar till inspirerande exempel och nya arbetssätt. Det bjuds på såväl internationella utblickar som lokala exempel.
Seminariet arrangeras som ett förseminarium till IFLA World Congress, världens största årliga konferens för kollegor inom landskapsarkitektur och stadsplanering. Seminariet hålls på engelska.
Moderator: Louise Didriksson, White Arkitekter

We will discuss how we can move faster to reverse the climate change, what economic incentives can guide the construction industry to reduce emissions faster, and which ecological projects have the greatest impact.
This is a collaboration with Sveriges Arkitekter and a pre-seminar for the IFLA congress (https://www.ifla2023.com/). The seminar will be in English and can also be viewed online.
