African countries have mapped out practical measures to advance the green transition of shipping on the continent, focusing on maritime governance, infrastructure development and job creation.

During an event in Kenya, organized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in collaboration with the Kenyan Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs, and in partnership with the Danish Maritime Authority, 35 nations discussed these actions, as well as how to support the implementation of IMO’s ‘Revised Strategy for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships’ (‘IMO GHG Strategy’) across the continent.
