Clear Seas Centre for Responsible Marine Shipping

Published purpose

The Project will undertake research to assess the potential contribution of different technology solutions to reducing the full environmental impacts of marine shipping. One objective of this work is to produce a report on the current state of technologies supporting environmental impact reduction of shipping. A second objective is to develop an assessment framework tool to evaluate and prioritize technology development efforts that will minimize the total environmental impact of marine shipping, and thereby accelerate efforts in achieving the ultimate goal of ‘zero-impact shipping’. The definition of environmental impact in the Project not only includes the 2050 net-zero GHG emissions target but also includes additional environmental impacts like air, water pollution and impact on ocean life.
