Carole Pavaut joined BV Solutions M&O as Director in 2020, bringing with her more than 25 years of experience in maritime industries. In this Market Focus, Carole shares her thoughts on maritime owners’ and operators’ challenges and opportunities as they navigate the ongoing energy transition.

Offshore asset owners have increased focus on GHG emissions reduction. Now is the time to involve their entire supply chain when decommissioning assets.

Ambitious targets to reduce CO2 emissions are on the horizon, and shipowners must begin to plan for compliance now. New IMO indexes such as the EEXI and the CII will play a major part in shifting the marine industry toward cleaner seas.

The marine industry confronts climate change every day, operating in a world of rising seas and strengthening storms. With greener design and more energy-efficient operations, owners and operators can help curb climate change while reducing their costs. The twin goals of environmentally conscious design and improved efficiencies will help guide the industry toward achieving global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets.

The energy transition is top of mind for marine and energy stakeholders, as they search for ways to reduce their consumption and the environmental impact. For asset owners, this means more than just picking and choosing sustainable solutions. Achieving maritime decarbonization will require a methodical approach to finding the onboard solutions that target specific asset needs.
