1. Decarbonization of Maritime Transport
2023 by Burak Zincir, Pravesh Chandra Shukla, Avinash Kumar Agarwal
Picture this: a massive fleet of ships, their hulking engines no longer belching out enough carbon to warm the planet faster than a cup of tea left too long in a British winter. In Decarbonization of Maritime Transport, a brainy cabal of experts (Burak Zincir, Pravesh Chandra Shukla and Avinash Kumar Agarwal) set sail on a grand quest to overhaul the maritime sector’s carbon footprint, all while steering through the stormy seas of acronyms like IMO and GHG. From pondering the magic of alternative fuels to harnessing electrification, hybridization and even good old carbon capture wizardry, this book tackles it all. There’s also talk of "green ports," which sound suspiciously like something out of a futuristic sci-fi utopia, alongside cunning market-based tricks to make the whole operation not just green, but profitable too. Whether you're a maritime maven or simply someone who likes big boats and cannot lie, this is the carbon-cutting guide for you.

2. Smart Ships
2022 by Yang Xiao, Tieshan Li
In *Smart Ships*, Yang Xiao and Tieshan Li chart a course through the turbulent seas of maritime innovation, envisioning a future where ships aren’t just floating boxes but brilliant, multi-talented geniuses of the ocean. These aren’t your average cargo haulers; these are ships that could probably run for office. Combining everything from navigation and computing to fishing and manufacturing, these seafaring polymaths promise to revolutionize not just shipping but entire industries. Packed with cutting-edge technologies and sprinkled with just enough future-forward wizardry to make Poseidon jealous, this book serves as both a guide to the current state of ship smarts and a map to waters so uncharted they might still have dragons on them. Whether you’re a researcher, a student, or someone who’s ever looked at a ship and thought, “But what if it *thought* back?” this is your definitive guide to the future of intelligent oceanic travel.

3. Sustainable Shipping: A Cross-Disciplinary View
2019 by Harilaos N. Psaraftis
Shipping: the art of moving massive amounts of stuff from Point A to Point B without (ideally) setting the planet on fire in the process. In Sustainable Shipping: A Cross-Disciplinary View, Harilaos N. Psaraftis dives headfirst into the swirling eddies of maritime sustainability, grappling with everything from greenhouse gases to the mystery of why ballast water seems so bent on wreaking ecological havoc. It all starts with the IMO’s bold 2018 plan to halve maritime emissions by 2050—a goal that’s either visionary, laughably insufficient, or utterly baffling, depending on who you ask. This book tackles the complexities of greening the shipping industry, blending technology, economics, logistics and enough policy analysis to make your head spin like a poorly calibrated propeller. From eco-friendly ship routes to sulfur-sniffing engines and from green ports to ship recycling that’s less "scrapyard" and more "eco-chic," this book plots a course through the murky waters of sustainable maritime policy. If you’ve ever wondered how to steer a trillion-dollar industry toward a greener future while keeping it afloat economically (and without succumbing to a mutiny of competing interests), this is the guide for you. It even ends with a look into the future—assuming, of course, that we still have one.

4. Shipping and the Environment: Improving Environmental Performance in Marine Transportation
2016 by Karin Andersson, Selma Brynolf, Fredrik Lindgren, Magda Wilewska-Bien
Ah, shipping—humanity’s grand tradition of chucking things across oceans on enormous metal tubs, all the while quietly upsetting the planet. Shipping and the Environment: Improving Environmental Performance in Marine Transportation is what happens when clever people like Karin Andersson, Selma Brynolf, Fredrik Lindgren and Magda Wilewska-Bien decide to do something about it. This isn’t just a book; it’s a masterclass in how to keep your cargo ships afloat and stop them from treating the ocean like a particularly large rubbish bin. From understanding emissions that sound like something invented by mad scientists, to regulations crafted by people with very sharp suits and very stern faces, to ingenious technologies that promise to scrub the air and water cleaner than a guilt-ridden octopus, this guide covers it all. Whether you’re plotting maritime policy, studying for your next big exam, or just wondering why the sea smells funny, this book is your definitive compass to sailing greener waters.
