At Steamship Mutual we are committed to supporting our Members with their ESG and sustainability agendas. This may include supporting the transition to zero-carbon fuels, helping Members meet new regulatory requirements, and embracing emerging technologies. We are therefore delighted to announce the launch of our ESG Support Hub.
The Hub will act as a central point of contact for sustainability-related queries and will work closely with our claims, underwriting and loss prevention teams to assist and advise Members in these areas.
Its focus includes:
- New fuels, emerging technologies and vessel automation, together with their associated risks
- Offshore developments, particularly wind farms and other forms of zero-carbon electricity generation
- LNG both as a cargo and in the context of traditional advice on Conditions of Use Agreements for Terminals
- Contractual issues and disputes arising from climate change and emissions regulation, including EEXI, CII, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime
The Hub will oversee and coordinate our activities in this field, enhancing the service we provide and adding value to Club membership. It will continue to evolve — developing new areas of expertise as required — to ensure we meet the changing needs of our Members as the global response to climate change and the decarbonisation of the shipping industry progresses.
