Former ICS secretary-general to drive maritime conversation on critical role of energy efficiency technologies
 

Guy Platten, former Secretary-General of the International Chamber of Shipping and a well-respected maritime veteran, has joined Silverstream Technologies to consult on regulatory affairs.
 

A highly regarded decarbonisation commentator, Mr Platten has played a critical role in driving industry consensus on the efforts required to achieve the IMO’s 2050 GHG ambitions. He brings a wealth of experience and visionary leadership that will help drive Silverstream’s mission to accelerate the take up of energy efficiency technologies [EETs] across the shipping sector.
 

Commenting on his appointment, Guy Platten said:  “The importance of energy efficiency technologies in supporting the maritime industry achieve its decarbonisation ambitions cannot be overstated. The best fuel is the fuel not burned. I am delighted to be working with Noah Silberschmidt and the Silverstream Technologies team to focus industry attention on the critical role energy saving technologies will play in the years ahead as we transition to net-zero fuels.”
 

Noah Silberschmidt, Silverstream Technologies CEO said: Energy efficiency technologies will play a central role in the years ahead as the maritime industry adopts net-zero fuels. All EET options must be explored, understood, and applied to help commercial shipping realise its decarbonisation ambitions. I look forward to working with Guy and I am confident that our collective efforts will ensure that Silverstream is at the forefront of the industry’s daily drive to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
 

Prior to his seven-year tenure at ICS, Mr Platten was the chief executive of the UK Chamber of Shipping and before that was CEO for Caledonian Maritime Assets. He is a master mariner and a non-executive director of the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping.
