Grimaldi to remain ICS chairman of the board
The International Chamber of Shipping’s (ICS) board of directors has unanimously re-elected Emanuele Grimaldi, president and managing director of Grimaldi Euromed, as chairman of the board for another term of two years. ICS represents 80% of the world’s merchant fleet and is the principal international trade association for merchant shipowners and operators.
Grimaldi thanked its peers, saying "it is a privilege to be part of this important association and the great work and progress being made for our industry. We have made good stead with our proposals to help meet the International Maritime Organisation’s net zero targets by or around 2050 and continue to work with UN bodies on the biggest issues impacting the maritime sector."
Guy Platten, ICS secretary general, added: "There is much to be done, but under Grimaldi’s leadership I am confident that we will evolve with the industry and further advance the maritime sector." (ah)
