The shipping industry is facing a decarbonization challenge. As a result, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recently set out a revised strategy that will promote a more rapid, just and equitable transition.

Expect to see alternative greener fuels powering ships, automated maintenance and monitoring, and a range of other new technologies and innovations that will help the industry keep up with growing demand while reaching net zero emissions.

Here’s what the shipping ports of the future could look like.

From greener fuels to artificial intelligence, a range of new technologies and innovations will help shipping keep up with growing demand
