In this episode, host Lora Jakobsen speaks with Alexander Saverys, CEO of CMB.TECH, about what it means to truly future-proof shipping.

Alexander Saverys is a leader who isn’t afraid to take risks. With seven generations of family history in maritime, he has transformed the Compagnie Martime Belge from a traditional shipowner into one of the most forward-thinking players in the industry, betting early on hydrogen and ammonia as fuels of the future.

And it paid off. Today, CMB.TECH is building its own clean fuel supply chain in Namibia, and the cultural changes at play inside the organisation are just as critical as technological ones.

From major acquisitions like Golden Ocean to pioneering new vessel designs, Alexander’s strategy balances decarbonisation with diversification. In this episode, Lora and Alexander unpack this vision, discuss how regulation and technology are reshaping the cost of low-carbon shipping, and reflect on how flexibility can help us shift towards renewables, through retrofitting, hybrid engines, and customer choice.

Future-proofing shipping isn’t just about cleaner fuels, it’s about rethinking the whole system: the energy we produce, the technology we adopt, the culture we foster, and the partnerships we build.

This episode is a reminder that a new propulsion revolution is just around the corner. Join this conversation to find out how investing now will determine who thrives in the decades ahead.
