Reducing Emissions and Improving Energy Efficiency in International Shipping

This article argues that, as the world’s only really reliable, global, cost-effective and energy-efficient mass transportation method for energy, materials, foods and products, maritime transport is central to sustainable development. And the maritime transportation system itself must, therefore, ensure that its development is also sustainable.
