In this episode, we speak with Vera Alexandropoulou (Vice President at Thalassa Foundation) and Guy Aufenacker (Head Private Banking Maritime at Bergos) about the pressing challenges of the shipping industry in the face of climate goals and energy transition. From the Paris 2050 Agreement and the IMO’s Net Zero Framework to the technological gap between land and sea – we explore how shipping must adapt, and why private initiatives like the Thalassa Foundation are becoming increasingly important.
