Over 90 per cent of international trade depends on maritime transportation, which is crucial to the global economy since it provides a reliable and affordable alternative to other modes of transportation. However, shipping alone contributes to nearly 3 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This prompted the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and private enterprises to launch campaigns to promote green shipping and make environmental sustainability a priority. Growing concerns regarding the environmental impact of shipping in recent decades led also to the inclusion of green shipping into global transportation policies. The intricate nature
of every maritime ecosystem though makes it challenging to implement these regulations in
local maritime contexts. IMO revealed its aspirations to reduce carbon emissions from international
shipping by at least 70 per cent by 2050 and by 40 per cent by 2030. Also, more demanding requirements were set on sulphur and nitrogen oxides (SOx, NOx) for commercial vessels, giving rise to Emission Control Areas (ECAs) such as in the Baltic and North Seas. In this context, sustainable
practices come at the forefront of development to create cutting cutting-edge solutions for maritime operations that benefit the economy and environment alike. Embracing such practices not only benefits the environment as such but reinforces the cost reduction and promotes the profitability of the industry in the long run. Several measures can contribute to fostering innovation while minimising environmental impact: improving energy efficiency, cutting down on waste products and ballast water pollution, more advanced engines less harmful to the environment, complying with governmental regulations to avoid penalties, anticipating, and reducing environmental risks, etc.
