Helen Barden
  • Director - External Affairs
  • Company: NorthStandard

After 11-plus years in FD&D, I joined NorthStandard’s External Affairs team in 2024.

As part of our Navigating Decarbonisation expertise team, I engage with industry bodies, including BIMCO, and other working groups on the challenges and opportunities this fundamental issue poses.

I contributed to drafting BIMCO’s EEXI Transition, CII Operations and the Emission Trading Scheme Allowances Clauses for Time Charter Parties. I’m also a member of NorthStandard’s Sanctions Advice team.

Engagement with industry and government on maritime decarbonisation and geopolitics/sanctions is vital to developing contractual solutions, infrastructure, policy and legislation that benefit the maritime industry.

I aim to help drive this work forward.
