The maritime sector has no shortage of ideas and opportunities to address the overlapping challenges of decarbonisation, climate resilience, and ocean stewardship. Breaking the silos around each topic makes it easier for the entire sector to move the needle by expanding synergistic strategies.

Member meetings like this are why SSI exists. Two days to step back from the day-to-day and think deeply, across the full breadth of what we do, together, in the same room. And what came through loud and clear from members was a shared commitment to building more action towards shipping's ambitious goals.

At times, the maritime industry has waited for regulation to arrive before it acts. Yesterday, in our Q2 Marine Biodiversity and Ocean Health (MBOH) Breakthrough community webinar, Dr Simon Chin-Yee (UCL), Laurence Janssens (HUB Ocean), Dr Bev Mackenzie (BIMCO) made a powerful case for doing it the other way round.
