Tanker markets are highly influenced by geopolitical upheaval and macro-economic trends. In such a volatile environment, how can companies meet current demands, while staying on track advancing the energy transition? 

In this episode, Lora Jakobsen, Chief Sustainability Officer at ZeroNorth, sits down with Mikael Skov, CEO of Hafnia, one of the world’s leading product tanker companies. Mikael has almost 40 years of experience in the shipping industry, and spent 25 years at TORM, before founding Hafnia Tankers in 2013.

Lora and Mikael take a deep dive into his pragmatic yet hopeful approach to the energy transition, emphasising the importance of technology solutions and digital infrastructures to make measurable improvements to current assets while working alongside customers for a long-term transition. They also discuss how market leaders driving technological developments can benefit smaller organisations and the industry at large.

The world is in a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today's society but is responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions. A future where global trade reaches zero emissions is possible. But how do we get there? In this podcast, we're sitting down with thought leaders to explore the inner workings of global trade, its massive impact on our society, and the obstacles it faces while navigating its way to zero.
