From her personal journey \u2014 starting in coal transport and now leading sustainability \u2014 to Swire\u2019s 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\u2019s transition from managing coal transport in Indonesia to spearheading Swire\u2019s sustainability and energy transition strategy.  Sustainability as a License to Operate: How Swire shifted from \u201cnice-to-have\u201d 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 \u2014 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.
