IMO Net-Zero Framework advisory service

The IMO Net-Zero Framework (NZF), approved in April 2025, marks a new chapter for global shipping where ships will be required to transition to low GHG emission fuels – presenting new risks and opportunities for shipping stakeholders.

DNV’s IMO Net-Zero Framework advisory helps you understand what the new IMO requirements mean for your business – and how to respond effectively. 

Whether you’re a shipowner, fuel supplier, port, yard, charterer or cargo stakeholder, we help you assess status and implications, risks and opportunities.
