According to reports, the "Silk Alliance" is named after the historic "Silk Road" sea section that connects Southeast Asia with China, the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Peninsula.

Charles Haskell, Lloyd's Register Decarbonization Project Manager, said: "This is the first time a fuel transition strategy has been developed for multiple stakeholders. We have the support of not only key players in the shipping industry, but other industries as well. This is critical to decarbonizing the industry.”
