The maritime industry has been key in fueling economic development and advancing our society. With around 90% of global trade dependent on maritime transport, it has brought significant benefits to our everyday existence. Nevertheless, addressing urgent environmental issues requires a shift towards more sustainable practices. While the sector offers significant growth potential, balancing this growth with a strong focus on sustainability and a commitment to minimizing our industry’s environmental impact is vital.
