IMO-Singapore searchable web portal compiles maritime transport decarbonisation initiatives for collaboration and cooperation.
NextGEN (where "GEN" stands for "Green and Efficient Navigation") is an important initiative to support the maritime sector's push towards the "next generation" of low and zero-carbon fuels and technologies.
The NextGEN web portal, an online collaborative global ecosystem of maritime transport decarbonisation initiatives, has been launched by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
NextGEN - which can be found at NextGEN (imo.org) - brings stakeholders together to identify the gaps and opportunities for decarbonisation in the international shipping community. The portal has been developed to serve as a circle of collaboration and a single portal to bring different stakeholders involved in maritime decarbonisation projects. These include ports, governments, companies, research institutes, to share knowledge on low- and zero-carbon fuels.
The NextGEN portal aims to encourage information-sharing, create critical networks and opportunities for collaboration, and facilitate capacity-building. By showcasing the universe of maritime decarbonisation projects on a single platform, the NextGEN portal will serve as a focal point and reference tool for public and private stakeholders.
