Investment In The Energy Transition In Maritime Transport: Challenges And Opportunities

Authors : Boukhmis Ounassa .

Abstract

Maritime transport plays a crucial role in global trade but is also a significant contributor to environmental degradation due to its reliance on fossil fuels. Transitioning maritime transport to sustainable energy sources is imperative to mitigate its environmental impact and align with international climate goals. However, this transition poses various challenges, including technological barriers, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory uncertainties. Despite these challenges, there are significant investment opportunities in the energy transition of maritime transport, ranging from green shipping technologies to port infrastructure upgrades and alternative fuel production facilities. This article examines the importance of transitioning maritime transport to sustainable energy sources, discusses the challenges involved, and highlights potential investment opportunities in driving this essential transition forward.
