Actionable insights for a climate positive future

There is consensus on the need to decarbonise.
The mechanics are unresolved.

Shipping’s transition is stalled on the work between ambition and operation – pricing the risk of inaction and action as regulations evolve,
and turning credible ideas into bankable propositions.

Regulatory uncertainty is shipping's medium-term reality.
The IMO's Net-Zero Framework pairs a global fuel standard with a GHG emissions price. Adoption vote in December 2026. Operational impacts expected by the end of the decade.
Regional policies already make carbon a financial line item.
EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime compliance costs are being reflected in charter economics and contract structures.
Transition questions differ for orderbook and operating vessels.
Ships in service must stay compliant and competitive through their remaining lifetime. Newbuilds are being specified today for an unclear multi-fuel landscape.
Shipping's capital stack must evolve alongside low-emission pathways.
Technologies and fuels need de-risking and scaling to reach long-term commercial viability. That work spans policy, contracts and capital structures.

Our work translates between domains. We bridge strategy and operations, connect organisational targets to project-level plans, and build repeatable solutions to recurring challenges.

We provide consultancy services at the
intersection of maritime, climate and finance.

01

Transition Plans & Climate Finance Frameworks

Transition plans grounded in sectoral pathways, for multiple relevant regulatory and technology scenarios. Integrating climate metrics into capital allocation and portfolio steering, setting KPIs for green financing instruments, and mapping transition-related portfolio and project risks.

Typical deliverables: Climate metrics and materiality assessments, dashboard design, KPI frameworks for sustainability-linked and green loans, target-setting project management, transition risk mapping.

02

Custom Research

Research on alternative fuels and clean technologies to identify opportunities and surface risk factors that affect outcomes for financiers, asset owners, operators and policymakers.

Typical deliverables: Techno-economic analyses, total cost of ownership models, fuel pathway and technology assessments, regulatory cost projections, commissioned reports.

03

Market Intelligence

Sector intelligence on decarbonisation pathways, emerging technologies and their commercial maturity. Supporting due diligence and strategic positioning in shipping, ports, energy and adjacent hard-to-abate sectors.

Typical deliverables: Due diligence support, market mapping, product-market fit analysis, pilot project ideation.
