The global shipping is at a crossroad that will determine its future and the transition to the new era. The escalating social pressures and regulations of the International Maritime Organization dictate the presence of shipping which does not burden the environment whilst it supports the continually increasing international trade and the growth of the global economy. Consequently, the search for environmentally friendly and economically favorable solutions for shipping is a permanent challenge often experienced in conditions of economic recession and high marine fuel prices.
The use of zero-emission vessels and alternative fuels has undeniable benefits, but the real challenge for the maritime industry is to manage a smooth transition without high costs from the level of research to the market.
