FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin In an exclusive interview to SAFETY4SEA, Jesse Fahnestock, Director of Decarbonisation at the Global Maritime Forum (GMF), emphasizes that the green transition comes with significant challenges. He stresses the importance of ensuring that lower-income countries are not left behind in the shift to cleaner energy. Despite these hurdles, the move toward maritime decarbonisation is already in progress. This transition is prompting maritime stakeholders to reshape their ESG strategies and address urgent issues from both business and sustainability perspectives. As a result, the focus extends beyond environmental goals to include human-centric priorities such as biodiversity, crew welfare, and broader social responsibility. Within this context, numerous initiatives are supporting stakeholders in adopting a comprehensive, well-to-wake approach—one that considers the entire life cycle of shipping operations.
