Carbon rules are multiplying—and getting costly to ignore. In this session we draw the map on FuelEU Maritime, EEXI, CII, EU ETS, MRV and the latest IMO requirements and what actually moves the needle on compliance, who pays for what under charterparties and how to avoid data and monitoring pitfalls.

17:20 – 18:00 The Multipolar World – Conflicting and Competing Regulations
Global order is fragmenting: power blocs, sanctions and security policy now steer trade more than markets—harmonisation isn’t coming back soon. In this session, Sturla Henriksen (UN Global Compact), together with other speakers to be announced, decodes how EU/US/China rulebooks collide at sea—export controls, data/localisation and ESG creating parallel regimes and rising legal friction. Knowledge is power.
· Sturla Henriksen, Special Advisor, Ocean, UN Global Compact
· and others
18:00 Sandwiches and drinks
We look forward to seeing you!
