Expert Talks with ABS on “Extending the Bridge to Decarbonization”

Monday, December 1, 2025

Overview

In this episode of Expert Talk Webinar Series, we welcome Mr. Rostom Merzouki, Vice President of Global Sustainability at ABS, who discussed the company’s strategy for maritime decarbonization, emphasizing a phased approach called “extending the bridge.” This strategy involves using transitional fuels like LNG while developing energy efficiency technologies and carbon capture solutions to reduce emissions and manage compliance costs. Rosa highlighted the need for a realistic pathway that balances ambitious goals with operational realities, warning that without a clear roadmap for green fuel availability, compliance costs could triple by 2035. ABS aims to support the industry’s transition while ensuring safety and commercial viability through this complex process.
