That was the clear message delivered by European Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tzitzikostas during the official opening of Posidonia 2026 in Athens.  Addressing one of the maritime industry's biggest concerns, Tzitzikostas sought to reassure shipowners that Brussels is fully aware of the financial pressures associated with decarbonisation and intends to prevent any duplication of carbon-related costs as the IMO develops its global emissions framework.  “I want to be clear: European companies will not pay twice, both in Europe and...

The idea of delegating day-to-day operations can feel like stepping away from the bridge.  Yet within the global shipmanagement industry, a consistent message has emerged.
