HHX.blue published the executive white paper “The Net-Zero Challenge: Converting the Burden into Opportunity”, examining the financial and operational implications of emerging IMO and EU carbon regulations for shipping.

The paper analyses the expected impact of the IMO Net-Zero Framework, EU ETS, carbon markets, and evolving compliance mechanisms on vessel operations, fleet strategy, and maritime finance. It also discusses the limitations of current fuel and technology pathways and the growing importance of dynamic carbon exposure management.
