This paper follows on from Smith et al. (2015), a paper presented at IMO MEPC 68 as a first framing of the concept of a target for shipping. This paper uses that paper’s findings to set a series of interview questions that are put to a number of SSI members. The answers to those questions are then used to produce a number of further scenarios for the future of international shipping. The interviews and the model results are then used to discuss the challenge ahead for shipping.
