From her personal journey — starting in coal transport and now leading sustainability — to Swire’s ambitious targets and pragmatic approach, Susana shares how legacy, innovation, and data come together in the drive toward decarbonization. The Last Dinosaur is also proud to be a media partner for London International Shipping Week (LISW) 2025 and SHIPPINGInsight. Key Points: From Coal to Clean: Susana’s transition from managing coal transport in Indonesia to spearheading Swire’s sustainability and energy transition strategy. Sustainability as a License to Operate: How Swire shifted from “nice-to-have” to embedding sustainability at the core of operations. Targets &amp;amp; Roadmap: Net zero by 2050, 50% reductions by 2030, and near-term wins from biofuels and efficiency programs. Innovation &amp;amp; Experimentation: Why budgeting for failure is essential to real progress in maritime decarbonization. Just-in-Time Shipping: The potential fuel savings — and why ports and terminals are the missing link. Future Fuels &amp;amp; Training Gaps: The reality of infrastructure, seafarer training, and readiness for ammonia, methanol, and bio-LNG. Data &amp;amp; AI: From rudimentary collection to advanced voyage optimization, why AI is only as strong as the strategy it supports.
