The event “Navigating Net Zero: Economic, Financial, and Insurance Insights into Sustainable Shipping”, held on 24 June 2025 at Bayes Business School, focused on the business and policy challenges of decarbonising the shipping industry.

On Tuesday 24 June, Dr Ioannis C. Moutzouris and Professor Ioannis Kyriakou presented recent findings from pioneering research conducted at Bayes on the economic, financial, and insurance aspects of shipping’s net-zero transition. This research has been informing both industry and policy makers.

A panel of industry leaders provided  insights into the transition and its business and economic implications:

  • Mary Alexandrakis, Head of Sustainability Strategy and Compliance at Borealis Maritime
  • Tobias Backer, Executive Director at Pelagic Partners;
  • Andrew Mackenzie, Head of Claims at Clearwater UW Limited
  • Alastair Stevenson, Head of Digital Analytics at SSY

As the sector faces increasing regulatory and environmental pressures, the transition to net zero presents both risks and opportunities.
