Future Fit Shipping

Our Future Fit Shipping workstream explores how Aotearoa New Zealand could decarbonise shipping and remain competitive as a trading nation.

The Future Fit Shipping Report outlines possible pathways including greater use of renewable fuels, strengthening international partnerships, and infrastructure investment.

It explores key considerations for establishing a trans-Tasman green shipping corridor and provides four alternative fuel roadmaps, along with an assessment of the economic risks for New Zealand if action is delayed.

Future Fit Shipping

In October 2024, The Aotearoa Circle commissioned Deloitte to consider both barriers and opportunities for decarbonisation for our maritime sector. This is not something most individual companies can attack on their own – so a joined-up approach – and the convening of stakeholders and Partners by The Aotearoa Circle was a logical place to start.

The resulting Future Fit Shipping report is built on insights from more than 50 stakeholders across shipping, ports, government, iwi, energy, and finance - on both sides of the Tasman.
