The largest shipping registry, the Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR), is demonstrating its commitment to the international shipping community by creating an Innovation and Energy Transition Team focused on reaching net-zero GHG emissions.
LISCR CEO Alfonso Castillero said: “We take great pride in launching our Innovation and Energy Transition Team. This initiative reflects our dedication to service excellence and developing innovative techniques by collaborating with our partners to reach net-zero goals. We hold a firm belief that responsible and sustainable shipping practices are the future, and we’re proud to offer this support to our clients.”
The Innovation & Energy Transition team’s mission is to promote the integration of new and existing solutions to aid in energy transition efforts. This is made possible by working in close collaboration with shipyards, design companies, classification societies, engine manufacturers, shipowners/managers, and other key stakeholders. Additionally, innovative ship designs, new technologies, and alternative fuels have been realised through LISCR’s participation in joint industry projects (JIPs) and joint development projects (JDPs).
The new department will work to tackle the challenges facing the international shipping world to transform to net-zero GHG emissions in line with the 2023 IMO GHG Emissions Reduction Strategy with the goal to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. This new service is expected to be an asset to Liberian flag shipowners and collaboration partners in the joint pursuit of net-zero GHG emissions for international shipping.
