Financing Green Fleets: Navigating Challenges and Embracing Innovations in a Decarbonized Era
The maritime industry is at a crossroads, navigating rising newbuilding costs, stringent environmental regulations, and rapidly evolving technology landscapes. At the same time, financing remains a critical challenge not only for newbuilds but also for the existing fleet, as shipowners face increasing pressure to achieve substantial efficiency improvements to secure funding. This session will explore how shipowners, banks, and other stakeholders can tackle these challenges by leveraging innovative financing mechanisms such as green bonds, ESG-linked investments, and private-public collaborations.This panel aims to discuss:
- How decarbonization policies influence financing decisions for both newbuilds and existing vessels.
- The rise of green financing options for sustainable shipping and efficiency retrofits.
- Overcoming financing challenges in uncertain markets while meeting stricter performance benchmarks
