Abstract

The process of transporting goods by sea is a key activity to facilitate global trade, and this contributes to significant environmental challenges related to emissions and pollution. In this chapter, the authors investigate the greening of maritime transport, regulatory frameworks, the application of technologies, and the adoption of designated practices. It examines the main global actions taken by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the European Union (EU), and selected national governments to cut emissions. The chapter also discusses the obstacles and pathways to sustainable maritime transport, emphasizing cooperation, government actions, and rising consumer awareness that can encourage greener practices.
