World Shipping Council Statement on World Ocean Day 2025

On this World Ocean Day, we celebrate the immense value of the Ocean – a source of life, food, energy, and biodiversity, and a vital ally in the fight against global warming. The Ocean produces half of the world’s oxygen, and as the world’s largest carbon sink, absorbs a quarter of all CO₂ emissions. It sustains communities, supports economies, and literally keeps world trade afloat – carrying the ships that deliver 80% of everything we humans need.

For those of us in the maritime industry, the Ocean is more than a backdrop – it is our workplace, our partner, and our shared responsibility.

Shipping is the backbone of global trade and economic growth, connecting communities around the world – but we account for up to 3% of global GHG emissions. That’s why liner shipping is investing massively in the transition to clean fuels and technologies.

Investing USD 150 billion to decarbonise shipping and protect the Ocean

Today, nearly 80% of all new container ships and vehicle carriers on order are designed to run on zero/near-zero GHG emissions fuels (ZNZ fuels)

Already, 200 such vessels are in operation

By 2030, at least 1,000 new container and vehicle carriers designed to run on zero or near-zero emissions fuels and technologies will be on the water

That represents an investment by liner ocean carriers of more than USD 150 billion in the decarbonisation of the shipping industry
