Dr Badr Moutik is a marine engineer and sustainability professional specialising in maritime decarbonisation, life cycle assessment, and sustainable shipping regulations and policy.
Badr currently works as a Technical Advisor for Marine Decarbonisation, representing an industry NGO as a delegate at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and other regulatory forums. His work focuses on supporting the maritime industry’s transition towards the safe, responsible, and sustainable adoption of low- and zero-carbon marine fuels. In this role, he has led global industry consortium-funded life cycle assessment studies and research projects that contribute to informing IMO and other regulatory development on maritime decarbonisation strategies.
Badr’s career bridges both academia and industry. He has served as a sea-going marine engineering officer, a project engineer in maritime logistics, maintenance, and operations, as well as an academic researcher and marine engineering lecturer.
He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Plymouth, where his research examined the life cycle environmental impacts of marine composite recreational craft manufacturing and operations through an industrial partnership with Princess Yachts. He also holds an MBA in Project Management and a Master’s degree in Marine and Offshore Engineering, and was awarded the Maritime UK Masters Award (2021) for his project “Developing a carbon-negative containership energy system combining carbon capture technology and e-methanol.”
His work and interests focus on advancing interdisciplinary research, education, and industry collaboration to support sustainable solutions for the future of maritime engineering.
