S2 Ep18: Rachel Hoyland, Senior Associate, Hill Dickinson

This week, Rachel Hoyland, shipping lawyer and Senior Associate, Hill Dickinson, returns to ship.energy to explore a sometimes overlooked theme in shipping’s decarbonisation – downsizing or, to put it another way, decarbonising by default. In conversation with ship.energy’s Mark Williams, Rachel picks up the threads of a talk she gave in advance of London International Shipping Week.

Or are there positives to a scenario in which shipping demand growth is cut due to the megatrends of the 21st century - and where shipping could be sustainable and profitable?
