The transition to more sustainable and environmentally friendly shipping practices requires significant investments in alternative fuels, innovative technologies, and cleaner vessel designs. Ship finance provides the necessary financial support for shipowners to make these investments and implement sustainable solutions.

Access to green finance is vital for the shipping companies to meet their environmental performance criteria, foster innovation and develop the efficiency of the sector. Therefore, understanding financial incentives is key to navigating shipping’s decarbonisation transition.

Ship finance enables the funding of research projects focused on developing low-carbon propulsion systems the retrofitting of existing ships. It aligns economic interests with environmental objectives, fostering the transformation of the shipping industry into a more sustainable and greener sector.

Finally, enhancing funding into the maritime sector not only contributes to the decarbonisation of the sector but also contributes to job creation and economic stability.
