The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Centre for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZCS) is pleased to announce that MarineFifty is joining the Centre as a Knowledge Partner.
The partnership is said to build on a shared commitment to scalable, evidence-based solutions to enable and accelerate decarbonisation in shipping and beyond.
MarineFifty is an investment firm focused on advancing marine sustainability and accelerating the sector’s transition to net zero. MarineFifty’s team combines expertise in maritime, finance, energy, sustainability and investment across asset classes. They investigate opportunities across the full value chain—from early-stage innovation to deployment-scale infrastructure—and raise and deploy capital in companies, solutions and projects that accelerate maritime decarbonisation. This pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach and commitment to enabling decarbonisation aligns closely with MMMCZCS’s ambition to drive an effective and sustainable transition to zero emissions.
Bo Cerup-Simonsen, MMMCZCS CEO, said: “We are delighted to welcome MarineFifty as a knowledge partner. Their blend of financing insight and decarbonisation expertise will strengthen our ability to support our ecosystem in identifying, deploying, and scaling solutions that tackle climate change across the maritime value chain. Together with our growing group of like-minded partners, we will illuminate new pathways for decarbonisation.”
Krishnan Narayanan, Chairman of MarineFifty and the Fifty Group, added: “Maritime decarbonisation has the potential to reshape global trade and create lasting value for the world. It is an honour to work alongside such a brilliant and dedicated team at the Centre. By bringing together their scientific leadership with MarineFifty’s investment expertise, we are building a framework capable of making zero-carbon shipping a reality. Ours is a partnership defined by shared purpose, trust, and a belief in what is possible.”
As a knowledge partner, MarineFifty will contribute with expertise across several areas, supporting MMMCZCS’s work on an investible transition, with a particular focus on financial structuring and analysis. In addition, MarineFifty will bring a risk-informed investment perspective that aligns technical feasibility with financial viability, as well as a cross-sectoral approach bridging the gap between innovation, finance, and regulation.
In turn, the partnership will provide MarineFifty with access to leading research, technical and policy insights, and collaboration across the Centre’s partner network. This exchange of knowledge and perspective will support MarineFifty’s mission to mobilise capital for the best and most scalable decarbonisation solutions, and reflects both organisations’ shared commitment to a zero-carbon maritime industry.
