The shipping industry is diverse, disaggregated,
and part of the logistical chain of 80% of global
trade. Shipping has become an essential part of
the world supply chain. With the effects of climate
change becoming more visible, the contribution
of CO2 and GHG from the transportation
industry is increasing. According to the European
Commission, the shipping industry releases 940
million tonnes of CO2 and makes 2.5% of the GHG
emissions. So reducing emissions of this sector is of
prior importance. The decarbonization of shipping
– responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions but more than 80% of global
trade – is rapidly moving up the agenda for
policymakers and industry alike. In 2021 more than
200 organizations from the maritime ecosystem
signed the Getting to Zero Coalition's Call to
Action for Shipping Decarbonization, urging the
adoption of a sector-wide goal of zero emissions
by 2050 and the commercial deployment of zero-
emission vessels by 2030.
India is strategically located on the world's
shipping routes with a coastline of approximately
7,517 km. Maritime transport handles around 70%
of India's trading in value terms. To promote India's
shipping and port industry, the government
has also introduced various fiscal and non-fiscal
incentives for enterprises developing, maintaining,
and operating ports, inland waterways, and
shipbuilding in India. Considering the impact, this
sector has on the environmental and ecological
balance of the world, its high time we focused on
greening this sector.
Green shipping promotes cleaner practices
to enforce emission control, efficient port
management, and equipment management. Every
industry element requires a massive effort, such as
the regulators, port authorities, and communities,
to carry this forward. The environment must be
considered in all shipping details, from building a
new vessel to its decommissioning. The International
Maritime Organization (IMO) is helping to reduce
the impact on the maritime industry by regulating
exhaust emissions, anti-fouling, ballast water, and
more. However these efforts face several challenges
like high investments required for technological
innovations, difficulties in securing investment
funds to replace eco-friendly ships, enforcement of
environmental regulations insufficient readiness,
inadequate infrastructure, lower policy priorities
among others.
The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways,
Government of India and Cochin Shipyard Ltd
in collaboration with The Energy and Resources
Institute (TERI) are organising a workshop on “Green
Shipping in India: Keeping Pace with the Global
Maritime Green Transitions” to unlock the enormous
potential of Maritime Green transition opportunities
in India, which will attract different stakeholders in
the value chain. The main objective of this workshop
is to:
• Promoting the importance of green shipping
through cross-learning,
• Highlighting benefits of Green Shipping
initiatives
• Identifying challenges being faced by the Sector
• Generating action plan to help policymakers in
framing requisite policy & regulatory frameworks
and identifying areas of intervention
