The new Innovation & Energy Transition team’s mission will promote the integration of new and existing solutions to aid in energy transition efforts working in collaboration with shipyards, design companies, classification societies, engine manufacturers, shipowners/managers, and other key stakeholders. Additionally, innovative ship designs, new technologies, and alternative fuels have been realised through its partnership on joint industry projects (JIPs) and joint development projects (JDPs).

This initiative reflects our dedication to service excellence and developing innovative techniques by collaborating with our partners to reach net-zero goals,” said Alfonso Castillero, CEO of the Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR).
