Finance the change the Ocean needs

June 5, 2025

As the Blue Economic and Finance Forum unfolds in Monaco—and on the eve of the third United Nations Ocean Conference—Green Marine Europe has released a powerful new collective video titled From Ships to Ports. Finance the Change the Ocean Needs. This initiative delivers a strong and unambiguous message: the environmental transition of maritime transport requires large-scale financing mobilisation.

A diversity of stakeholders united around a common goal

The video gives voice to a wide range of actors from the maritime sector, all committed to driving sustainable transformation across the industry:

  • International associations and NGOs
  • Shipowners and shipyards
  • Professional organisations
  • Investors

They all share the same conviction: the shift toward more sustainable shipping cannot happen without significant financial support.

A collective call to action

Through their testimonies, these contributors issue a collective wake-up call: financing the maritime transition is a shared imperative. Decarbonising the sector, modernising port infrastructure, and fostering technological innovation cannot rest solely on the shoulders of industry players. The entire financial ecosystem must be engaged in a spirit of collaboration.

A pivotal moment for the blue economy

This video comes at a crucial time for the sector: it provides a valuable platform to place the issue of financing at the heart of the maritime transition.
