The need to modernize shipping
As the international maritime industry generates significant emissions, it is imperative to decarbonize shipping by implementing technology-driven solutions. If no changes are made, the impact on the environment created by the marine industry could become even more serious in the future.
Green innovations through smart tech
The nautical sphere is adopting a number of ground-breaking innovations that may offer solutions for its environmental impact. For example, alternative fuels such as hydrogen and liquefied natural gas, and wind and solar power systems are being introduced. One of the conglomerates in Sri Lanka involved in the maritime sector that has also looked to harness solar power as well as initiate wind and hydro projects is McLarens Group.
Curbing emissions
There is no doubt that reducing emissions is vital when it comes to the future of the maritime industry and advanced equipment provides useful ways to attain this objective. For instance, digital technology has the capability to enhance economical fuel use, develop more suitable routes and boost operational efficiency.
Sustainability
In addition to assisting shipping companies to operate in an efficient manner, sophisticated technologies also enable them to conform to complicated international regulations. In this regard, cloud and AI technology offer significant processing capabilities, making it possible to analyse data and meet objectives effectively. In this way, sustainability targets could be achieved.
