2025 was a pivotal — and at times frustrating — year for maritime decarbonization.
In this episode of Seathrough Efficiency, Njord’s Managing Director Frederik Pind reflects on the momentum, delays, and lessons that defined the year, and what they mean for shipping as we move into 2026.
The discussion explores why regulatory uncertainty from the IMO continues to challenge the industry, why energy efficiency remains a no-regret pathway regardless of policy timelines, and how wind-assisted propulsion emerged as one of the most commercially impactful technologies in 2025. The episode also highlights a critical but often overlooked barrier to decarbonization: organizational alignment and decision-making within shipping companies.
Looking ahead, the conversation unpacks what shipowners and operators should prepare for in 2026 — from increasing regulatory complexity and regional carbon pricing schemes to the growing importance of acting early rather than waiting for perfect clarity.
This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating shipping’s transition to a low-carbon future.
