3. Sustainable Shipping: A Cross-Disciplinary View
2019 by Harilaos N. Psaraftis
The current juncture in international shipping represents a pivotal moment. The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) decision in April 2018 to adopt an Initial Strategy, aiming for a substantial reduction of at least 50% in maritime greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared to 2008 levels, signifies one of the latest developments in the realm of sustainable shipping. This decision, seen by some as aligned with the COP21 climate agreement in Paris in 2015, is met with both support and skepticism within expert and industry circles. While some view it as insufficiently ambitious, others contend that a clear pathway to achieve this goal remains elusive. "Sustainable Shipping: A Cross-Disciplinary View" takes a multifaceted approach to address the multifaceted challenges of maritime sustainability. Delving into technology, economics, logistics, and the environment, the book explores various models for evaluating decisions, policy alternatives, and trade-offs. In pursuit of sustainable shipping, a spectrum of measures is contemplated, spanning technology, logistics, and market-based strategies, all of which can have significant ripple effects throughout the maritime supply chain, including ports and hinterland connections. Balancing environmental performance with traditional economic criteria to ensure the viability of shipping is poised to remain a central objective for both industry and policymakers. However, the potential for policy fragmentation to create competition distortions and suboptimal solutions looms large. This book endeavors to tackle these challenges and unearth more effective solutions. Its comprehensive coverage includes topics such as maritime transport sustainability, green ship technologies, information and communication technologies for sustainable shipping, eco-friendly tramp ship routing and scheduling, green liner network design and speed optimization, market-based measures, oil pollution, ship recycling, sulfur emissions, ballast water management, alternative fuels, and green ports. The book concludes by contemplating the prospects for the future, with a particular focus on the IMO Initial Strategy.
