Level 1 - 3
Climate Awareness in the Maritime Industry
“The maritime industry must embrace green technologies to reduce emissions and comply with international environmental standards,” says Captain John Smith, Maritime Environmental Advocate, Green Seas Initiative.
This course is designed to provide maritime professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to address climate change within the maritime industry. It begins with an exploration of climate change and its specific impacts on maritime operations, including shipping, port activities, and vessel management. Participants will also delve into sustainable practices in the maritime sector, such as reducing emissions, improving fuel efficiency, and adopting green technologies, aligning with efforts like the Sustainable Shipping Initiative.
Understanding regulatory frameworks is key to staying compliant and competitive. As the UK progresses with plans like Powering Up Britain: Net Zero Growth Plan, this course equips participants to navigate evolving standards and integrate sustainability into their operations effectively.
This course is ideal for ship operators, maritime managers, port authorities, sustainability officers, logistics coordinators, and anyone involved in the maritime industry who wants to enhance their understanding of climate change and integrate sustainable practices into their operations.
