Global shipping is approaching a regulatory turning point – and the timing couldn’t be more critical.
At SNIC 2025, we are honoured to welcome Sveinung Oftedal, Chief Negotiator for Norway on climate and environmental issues at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). He plays a central role in shaping the upcoming decarbonization decisions of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC).
Just weeks before his keynote in Singapore, Sveinung will be at the table during the extraordinary IMO MEPC session in October – a meeting widely seen as a pivotal moment for international shipping, with new regulations that could define the pace of decarbonisation for years to come.
From MEPC Decisions to Industry Impact
His keynote – “Regulatory Turning Point: Decarbonizing Maritime Post-MEPC Decisions” – will offer our community a unique, real-time perspective on what the outcome means for global shipping.
- How will the measures reshape decarbonization pathways?
- What clarity – or uncertainty – should shipowners, financiers, and innovators prepare for?
- How can industry leaders align strategy with global rules that will define competitiveness in the years ahead?
Why This Session Matters
This is a rare chance for the maritime business community in Singapore and beyond to hear directly from the source – and to reflect together on how regulation and innovation must move in tandem.
