In this episode of Future Bound, join Sea Cargo Charter (SCC) Vice Chair Eman Abdalla as we navigate its journey since launch in October 2020.

The SCC, covering approximately 18% of 2022's total bulk cargo by sea, represents a global framework that unites 37 charterers and operators - with an aim to redefine responsible chartering in the maritime sector in line with international climate goals. Hear from Abdalla on where the SCC stands today in terms of progress, key lessons, and how it continues to provide a valuable platform to members including founding signatory KCC

Discussion points include:

  • The SCC explained

  • Since the SCC’s inception, what are the lessons learned and has been achieved to date?

  • How SCC ambitions align with IMO’s latest strategy

  • Will stricter decarbonization regulations render voluntary initiatives such as SCC superfluous?

  • How the SCC answers critics on motives and progress

  • Being a forum made up of several major players in the industry, where could the SCC leverage that strength to do more beyond transparency and reporting?
