The recent Cares Connect event held in London on 27th September enabled representatives from Africa and the Caribbean to discuss their maritime GHG reduction needs and hear from technology providers about their potential solutions.
IMO CARES Events
An in-person event, organized by IMO CARES, convened stakeholders including donors, regions, and technology providers to discuss decarbonization in the shipping industry.
The event explored various technology-neutral options such as renewable shore power, alternative fuels, AI-driven solutions, and pilot programs to drive adoption and improve maritime efficiency.
Promoting Sustainability
Participants noted resource constraints in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs), focusing on onboard vessel solutions for port supply, fishing, yachts, cruises, and ferries.
The IMO CARES Marine Technology Global Challenge, offering $60,000 in prizes, aims to support technology providers in implementing cost-effective GHG reduction solutions in African and Caribbean countries.
Global Challenge
The Global Challenge will open for entries in early November 2023. The IMO CARES team will announce the members of the judging panel and the names of the two recipient countries on a dedicated website for the IMO CARES project.
IMO CARES is funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and aims to support developing countries to meet the IMO Energy Efficiency and IMO GHG Strategy targets and thus help drive the achievement of global GHG emissions reduction.
