NAVIGATING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY: A REVIEW OF GREEN SHIPPING PRACTICES
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.26408/137.02Abstract
The maritime industry is undergoing a profound shift towards environmental sustainability through the adoption of green shipping. This paper examines the pivotal role of marine engineering in advancing sustainable practices and enhancing pollution control within the sector. It highlights the role of advanced propulsion systems, including methanol engines, ammonia-based propulsion, and hydrogen fuel cell alongside digital monitoring technologies that help optimize energy use and emissions control. The paper also assesses the economic feasibility of transitioning to sustainable shipping practices. Additionally, it emphasizes the crucial involvement of port authorities, who contribute through targeted incentives and green infrastructure programs. Regulatory frameworks, international maritime regulations and industry collaboration for sustainable shipping strategies further underscore the urgency of these efforts. As the industry embraces a greener future, marine engineers play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable and resilient marine transport system that benefits both the environment and society.
