G7 Transport Ministers meeting in Milan briefed by ICS Chairman, Emanuele Grimaldi, on Security and Decarbonisation Monday 15 April 2024, London: The Chairman of the ICS, Emanuele Grimaldi, attended a high-level meeting with the G7 Transport Ministers in the morning of Saturday 13 April 2024, in Milan. Mr Grimaldi was invited to the working session on global maritime connectivity in the short, medium and long term. During the session the G7 Transport Ministers, with Mr Grimaldi and Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) European Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago, discussed the key issues currently being faced within the maritime sector such as the conflict in the Middle East, and the conflict in Ukraine. They also discussed the industry’s energy transition, as well as the importance of free trade and maritime connectivity. Commenting on the sector’s security concerns ICS Chairman, Mr Grimaldi, said: “What is at the heart of ICS is our seafarers and we must ensure that they are not caught up in the crosshairs of any conflicts such as what we are tragically seeing in the Red Sea at the moment. The terrible loss of life of three seafarers following the missile strike against the vessel True Confidence made our greatest fears a reality. This is unacceptable and these intolerable acts of aggression against innocent seafarers and merchant ships are in contravention of international law”. During the meeting Mr. Grimaldi also highlighted: “Please let us not forget that the 25 crew members of the merchant vessel Galaxy Leader are still being held hostage, for nearly five months now. This is unacceptable, and their urgent release is a paramount concern for the ICS and the industry as a whole. We applaud the G7 Transport Ministers who condemned these attacks against merchant shipping in a declaration issued on the 20 February, underscoring the importance of the safety and security of seafarers and vessels”. Mr Grimaldi added: “It is an honour to have participated in this meeting and to work with the G7 Transport Ministers on the key challenges our sector faces. Our industry is global, and we must work collaboratively and transparently to ensure that it remains resilient and robust. It is fair to say we are living in challenging times, with many Black Swan events and times of conflict testing us but together we can meet these challenges head on.” During the meeting Mr Grimaldi also stressed to the G7 Transport Ministers how the recent events over the past few years have led to exceptional levels of demand at a time when conflict and major crisis create significant strain on the supply chain. This has led to peaks and dips in the market, but it is a cyclical market, and such volatility are the market’s natural reaction to supply chain shocks. It was emphasised that for maritime to do the job that is vital to the global economy it must be done without restrictions.

Eco Italia: a "model" for the IMO 🛳 A scale model of the vessel #Eco Italia donated by the Grimaldi Group has been on display at the IMO (International Maritime Organization) London headquarters. And certainly not only for its ornamental value: the ship is one of the 14 revolutionary GG5G class ro-ros that the IMO itself defined as “a significant model on the path towards the decarbonization of shipping”. 🌿 ⬇ Read more ⬇ https://lnkd.in/daARmr2Y #decarbonization #shipping #green
