NEW YORK – Capital Link's Decarbonization in Shipping Forum "Moving from Discussion to Delivery" will take place on Wednesday, April 14 and Thursday, April 15, 8:30 AM-3:30 PM GMT, as a digital event.

Decarbonization is the next frontier for the industry to conquer adhering to specific objectives and timeframes. Despite the fact that the industry has to achieve specific emission reduction objectives within defined timeframes, there is significant uncertainty across the board.

This two-day event held in digital format aims to combine two main features providing a forum true to the goal of “Moving from Discussion to Delivery”. The agenda topics are carefully designed and selected by the Steering Committee comprised of leading experts in the Maritime Industry.

Registration is complimentary and available online: https://forumdecarbonization2021.capitallink.com/en
