Wednesday 29 November – Today, members welcomed incoming CEO, Steven Jones, at SSI’s bi-annual in-person member meeting in Singapore.
“As the new CEO of The Sustainable Shipping Initiative, I am thrilled to lead this pioneering organisation at a crucial juncture for our industry. The dedication of our members, team and partners from across the maritime sector, collaborating under a shared commitment to sustainable shipping, is truly inspiring.
Together, we possess invaluable knowledge and experience to chart our course toward a sustainable maritime industry.

Andrew will be leaving the SSI at the end of the year.
