    Helping Corporates Answer 'How Do We Get to Net Zero?'

    How often do you get to have a photo with an engineering legend? It was a pleasure to be invited by British Marine to represent the National Oceanography Centre last week to represent the The Carbon Trust. Joined by my co-maritime teammate, Sam Strivens. Our goal? Equip UK maritime businesses with clarity on: ⚓ Why decarbonisation matters now more than ever ⚓ How upcoming UK transport policy will shape decisions ⚓ Where to engage with government consultations ⚓ How emissions regulations are affecting their customers ⚓ Why innovation funding isn’t just a nice-to-have, but a must The decisions made between now and before 2030 will shape business positioning all the way to Net Zero in 2050. Getting ahead of the curve isn't just sustainable but key for being a viable business. Key takeaways from the day: 🗣️ Robert Parton CMM, President of British Marine, reminded us that UK maritime is global and trade uncertainty continues to ripple across the sector. 🔋 Electrification is happening but it’s not “sustainability” that sells, it’s usability. Design matters more than ever. 📦 Trade mechanisms like CBAM are already impacting the sector but with the right support, these challenges are solvable. And of course, it wouldn’t have been right not to grab a photo with a true UK engineering icon: Boaty McBoatface 🛳️ Huge thanks to the teams at British Marine and NOC for hosting, and to Beckie Harris and Amy Lovell for all the behind-the-scenes effort. #NetZero #MaritimeDecarbonisation #Workboats #CBAM #InnovationFunding #UKMaritime #Sustainability #BoatyMcBoatface
