TITLE : CEO COMPANY : ZEN CARGO INDUSTRY : SEA SHIPPING
Hersham is Co-founder and CEO of Zencargo , a digital freight forwarder that enables organisations to make smarter decisions through a real-time overview of their supply chain .
“ With new capacity entering the market , many carriers might choose to retire older vessels rather than maintain inefficient operations ,” he says .
Hersham also points out the IMO is not forcing vessels to comply until 2024 , and that it will not prevent non-compliant vessels from sailing until 2025 .
“ This means any scrapping or idling of ships for the next two years is at the carriers ’ discretion ,” he says .
In terms of what the new regulations will mean for sea freight prices , Hersham feels that shipping companies “ might eventually increase the cost of sea freight to help pay for new energy efficient technologies and
