The episode is hosted by Peter Rayers and features Roger Strevens, VP Regulatory & Environmental Affairs at Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Chair of the World Shipping Council's Environmental & Climate Council.  Roger provides perspective from and on the shipping industry, and the associations that bridge the industry with its main regulator; the IMO.

Energy efficiency, the fuel transition, and closing the gap. Broader implications of a growing body of environmental regulation: compliance, risk management, and digitalisation.
