Gard teams with two global decarbonization centres for marine fuels

In Denmark, Gard has have entered into partnerships with the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) in Singapore and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping in Denmark.

As a leading marine insurer, Gard wants to support the industry in this transition. That is why Gard has entered into partnership agreements with two global decarbonization centers:

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonization is a non-profit organization set up in Singapore on 1 August 2021 by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), BHP, BW Group, Eastern Pacific Shipping, Foundation Det Norske Veritas, Ocean Network Express and Sembcorp Marine. GCMD aims to help the industry eliminate GHG emissions by shaping standards for future fuels, financing first-of-a-kind projects, piloting low-carbon solutions – end-to-end – under real-world operating conditions, and collaborating across sectors. 

Based in Copenhagen, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping is a not-for-profit, independent research- and development center working across the energy- and shipping sectors with industry, academia, and authorities. With Partners, the Center explores viable decarbonization pathways, facilitates the development and implementation of new energy technologies; builds confidence in new concepts and their supply chains; and accelerates the transition by defining and maturing viable strategic pathways to the required systemic change. The Center is placed in Copenhagen but works with partners globally.
