Climate Regulations Are About to Disrupt Global Shipping

By: Willy C. Shih
  • Format:Electronic
ShareBar

Abstract

Ships that transport goods across oceans are collectively a major generator of greenhouse gases. Rules from the International Maritime Organization and the European Union aimed at curbing these emission promise to make transoceanic and regional shipping more expensive and reduce service, which will have a significant impact on global supply chains. Managers should begin to prepare now for this new era.
