Overview
Commercial thinking for the transition ahead.
The agreements, responsibilities and business decisions behind more sustainable maritime operations.
The transition towards lower-emission shipping raises commercial questions as well as technical ones. Investment choices, vessel operations and the expectations of counterparties all need to be considered.
Our decarbonisation and ESG focus examines how these priorities are reflected in contracts, information requirements and the relationships between owners, charterers and other participants.
Areas of focus
- Environmental provisions in commercial contracts
- Operational responsibilities and information sharing
- Vessel adaptation and alternative-fuel projects
- Sustainability commitments in supply relationships
- Transition-related commercial negotiations
Our approach
We separate the business objective from the assumptions behind it, then consider how the agreement can express responsibilities clearly. Applicable legal requirements depend on the activity and jurisdictions concerned.
