Edvard said: “I feel honoured to be appointed to chair one of the most important fora for sustainability issues within the port and shipping industry. It is crucial for the future that shipping develops in a responsible way. There is a lot that we can be proud of although a great deal remains to be done as shipping can and must reduce its emissions.”
