Sustainable Power, Autonomous Ships, and Cleaner Energy for Future Shipping/Устойчивая мощность, автономные суда и чистая энергия для будущего судоходства

Издание на английском языке
Shipping is one of many stakeholders competing for use of the oceans; however, ships occupy a significant place for transportation of goods and people around the world. The world’s oceans provide energy, food, raw materials, trade, employment, and a place to live and to relax. The international shipping industry has both an enormous economic footprint but also a heavy environmental footprint with impacts as well as in the air and water. Protecting the environment is the biggest sustainability challenge for this industry. The focus is on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although demand for shipping is predicted to grow further, sustainability issues have raised many concerns.
