🌍⚓️ Advancing Maritime Sustainability: Highlights from the IMO CARES Project MTCC Africa is excited to present a short video featuring key activities and collaborative efforts under the IMO CARES project. This initiative, focuses on developing tailored technology proposals to aid beneficiary countries in adopting innovative maritime technologies. Watch as we navigate the challenges and successes in promoting green technologies and reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the maritime sector. Your insights and support can help us propel these initiatives further. 🎥 Watch the full video here and explore how we're shaping a sustainable future in shipping: https://shorturl.at/4NUlj #IMOcares #SustainableShipping #GreenTechnology #MTCCAfrica

Are you curious about the IMO CARES (Coordinated Actions to Reduce Emissions from Shipping) project and our three-pronged approach to supporting countries in Africa and the Caribbean meet International Maritime Organization decarbonisation targets? Join us for our latest IMO CARES event to learn about our activities to facilitate green solution use in the Global South. You will hear from IMO CARES officials, the winners of the IMO CARES Maritime Technology Global Challenge, as well as consultants and our project sponsors. Our speakers on the day will include Anton Rhodes, Fawaz Al Sahli, Petra Ahari and more. They will share information about some of the challenges in the regions and pathways to progress. 💚 Event name: IMO CARES Domestic shipping and Decarbonization in developing regions 💚 Where: In-person at IMO headquarters in London and online hybrid event 💚 When: Tuesday 25th June, 13:45 -16:45 UK Time 💚 Registration link: https://lnkd.in/ew6H3MWc 💚 Who should attend: Anyone who is interested in the project Make sure you sign up today! #shipping #maritime #ports #decarbonisation #technology MTCC Africa MTCC Caribbean

🙋♀️ Have you have been wondering what we have been up to over the past few months? 📢 The answer is that we have been busy, busy busy! 🙌 Want to know more? We invite you to read this article written for Bunkerspot magazine by Petra Ahari, IMO CARES Project Analyst about all our activities in Africa, the Caribbean and of course our headquarters at the International Maritime Organization in London. 🏃♂️ The article outlines how we have worked hard 💪 to identify suitable market-ready technology solutions that will improve efficiency of vessels and ports and reduce operational costs and GHG emissions. We have already announced the winners of the Maritime Technology Global Challenge, and seen the impact that our CARES Connects events can have. We will soon be issuing a Report on Decarbonisation of Domestic Shipping - so STAY TUNED 🔔 . Thank you to Ian Taylor for giving us the opportunity to talk about our work - and to the strong leadership shown by Dr. Jose Matheickal and Anton Rhodes to ensure that the project delivers change in the two regions. We must also thank Vivian Rambarath -Parasram and Lydia Ngugi for the hard work of MTCC Caribbean and MTCC Africa in selecting the winning technologies for the global challenge. #decarbonisation #shipping #SIDS #LDCs #ports #technologies

🌊 Today, we celebrate the 2024 International Day for Women in Maritime, honoring the incredible contributions women make to maritime safety and the industry's future.
