Bureau Veritas Classification societies will play a central role in the transformation of shipping over the next few decades, according to Bureau Veritas.
“Today we are at the start of the most interesting times for any of us in shipping. The challenge is there and the opportunity is great. The shipping industry of today may bear little resemblance to that of 2040 or even 2030, let alone 2050,” said Matthieu de Tugny, President Marine & Offshore at Bureau Veritas (BV).
The UN’s sustainable development goals are a strong accelerator to change in business, said de Tugny, and the work of classification societies aims to cover nine out of the 17 SDGs.
