Seafarers must never be targeted, and freedom of navigation must be upheld.

WSC CEO Joe Kramek at the #BEFF: « We need tools, rules and fuels to reach net-zero by 2050. The tools - the technology and ships - are there, the IMO Net-zero Framework is delivering certainty, and now we need investment for renewable fuels. » #UNOC3

[Anna Larsson @Alarsso]

« Decarbonisation is not free, we all know that. But we have spent a lot of money on polluting the environment - it is time we spent some on protecting it »

[Anna Larsson @Alarsso]

Arsenio Dominguez kicks off #BEFF day 2 with a stark reminder of how our society relies on the maritime industry: « No seafarers, no shipping, no shopping »

[Arsenio Dominguez @IMOSecGen]

Our ocean is under threat. Its decline isn’t accidental — it’s driven by human activity.
But that means we also have the power to change it.
This #WorldOceanDay, watch this video and join me in taking real action to protect and restore our ocean.

Revitalizing the American maritime sector will require smart, forward-looking policies — targeted investments, infrastructure modernization, and workforce development — not retroactive penalties that could weaken U.S. trade competitiveness.
