Royal Caribbean Group, a global leader in the vacation industry, has joined the Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII). By becoming a member, the company aims to provide insights and actively support efforts to develop and implement effective methane reduction strategies.
MAMII’s Mission and Industry Collaboration
Founded in 2022 and led by Safetytech Accelerator, MAMII brings together industry leaders, technology experts, and maritime stakeholders to tackle methane emissions from LNG-powered ships. The initiative includes major players such as BP, CMA CGM, GTT, Lloyd’s Register, Capital Gas, MSC, NYK Lines, and Shell, demonstrating its wide-reaching industry engagement.
The Growing Focus on Methane Emission Reduction
As the maritime industry increasingly adopts LNG as a transitional fuel, addressing methane emissions has become a top priority. Methane’s strong climate impact necessitates urgent action, and MAMII is at the forefront of developing technologies that help monitor and mitigate these emissions.
Royal Caribbean’s Commitment to Sustainability
By joining MAMII, Royal Caribbean Group strengthens its commitment to industry collaboration for decarbonization. Palle Laursen, the company’s Executive Vice President and Head of Marine, emphasized that partnerships like MAMII are essential for achieving its “Destination Net Zero” strategy, which aims for net-zero emissions by 2050.
Call to Action for Industry Leaders
MAMII recently published a report detailing the extent of methane slip in LNG-fueled vessels and the available technologies to combat it. This report serves as a call to action, urging industry leaders to work collectively to reduce methane emissions and advance maritime sustainability.
