Mr. Oftedal, a key figure in Norway’s green shipping initiatives, emphasizes the dual approach of regulation and incentives to curb GHG emissions. Notably, Norway is implementing rules for zero-emission ferries and cruise ships.
Decarbonization Support
Mr. Oftedal underscores Norway’s commitment to decarbonizing domestic shipping, aligning with climate targets.
The government plans to support and incentivize the industry’s shift towards decarbonization for the coming years and beyond, fostering global collaborations through IMO efforts.
Future Projections
Oftedal anticipates zero-emissions vessels by 2029 in Norway’s offshore and passenger sectors. Contracts in 2024 and 2025 will mandate electric power for ferries and high-speed vessels. Collaborations aim to establish green corridors, reducing emissions in shortsea shipping.
