An Analysis Of The Carbon Footprint In Maritime Transport: Challenges And Opportunities For Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A. Karaś 1
1 Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland
ABSTRACT: The process of decarbonization and the pursuit of zero-emissions growth are a challenge for maritime transport, while strict environmental regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions call for changes in both organizational and technological processes. The aim of the article is to present the problem of carbon footprint in relation to the maritime transport industry . The article discusses the negative impact of sea transport on the environment. The main research objective was to shed light on carbon footprint in the context of maritime transport as well as to identify the possibilities of its reduction, including through regulatory measures. Various research methods were used in the study, including a literature review, a review of the documentation of IMO regulations, reports and an analysis of technologies implemented to reduce pollutant emissions in maritime transport.
