Transitioning to sustainable shipping: A multidimensional analysis of maritime emission strategies
The maritime industry, responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, faces mounting pressure to decarbonize while maintaining operational efficiency. This study examines emission mitigation strategies within the sector through the lens of a PESTEL framework, analyzing political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal dimensions. Key findings highlight the pivotal role of international regulations, such as MARPOL Annex VI and the EU maritime regulations, alongside national incentives in accelerating the adoption of alternative fuels and advanced emission reduction technologies. Economically, while measures like slow steaming offer immediate cost savings, technologies such as carbon capture and storage and hydrogen propulsion require substantial investment and infrastructure development. Social acceptance, workforce training, and public perception of alternative fuels emerge as critical factors in enabling industry-wide adoption. The study further explores technological challenges related to scalability and lifecycle emissions, emphasizing the need for coordinated innovation and investment. Environmental impacts, particularly on biodiversity and well-to-wake emissions, underscore the importance of regulatory oversight and sustainable fuel production. Legally, the industry faces complex compliance requirements, liability risks, and evolving insurance frameworks. By adopting a strategic and collaborative approach, the maritime sector can navigate these multifaceted challenges to achieve its decarbonization goals. This comprehensive analysis provides stakeholders with actionable insights to balance economic viability, regulatory compliance, and environmental sustainability in transitioning to a greener future.
期刊介绍:
Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.
We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.
Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
