Our Work
SSI operates at the critical point where commercial practice, financial incentives, and operational standards intersect. Across our programmes, we bring together our members and the wider actors who shape decisions in shipping to identify what is blocking progress and build the tools to remove those barriers. Our work is delivered through three platforms: Commercial Pathways to Energy Transition, Human Risk and Resilience and Ocean Impact and Implementation. These can be seen in more detail in our strategy.
