Together We Can Decarbonize Ocean Shipping

Through coZEV, companies are raising ambition and joining forces to eliminate the climate impact of maritime shipping.
Cargo Owners for Zero Emission Vessels (coZEV) is a first-of-its-kind cargo owner-led network to enable maritime freight customers to come together to accelerate maritime shipping decarbonization through a series of actions and projects.
Roadmap to 2040Send Demand Signals for Zero Emission Shipping
coZEV will grow the number of cargo owners involved with coZEV workstreams to demonstrate the increasing business case for zero emission shipping and develop mechanisms to recognize catalytic action and investment taken by cargo owners toward maritime decarbonization.
