Introduction The shipping industry plays a crucial role in global trade, responsible for transporting 90% of the world’s goods. However, it also accounts for nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. The pressing need to reduce the carbon footprint has led to a growing focus on ways to decarbonize shipping  and shipping operations. In this blog, we’ll explore how Seacoat is at the forefront of this effort, offering innovative solutions to help the maritime industry move toward a sustainable future.
