Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Green Shipping: Navigating towards Sustainable Maritime Practices

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the role that artificial intelligence (AI) plays in promoting sustainability in the marine industry. The report demonstrates the potential of AI-driven technology to improve vessel operations, decrease emissions, and promote environmental stewardship. This potential is shown by detailed examination of existing trends, problems, and possibilities. Several vital studies highlight the significance of policy interventions that encourage the use of artificial intelligence. These interventions include financial incentives, legal frameworks, and programs to increase capability. Throughout this work, the importance of the role that artificial intelligence plays in driving efficiency, safety, and sustainability is emphasized. This work also highlights the urgent need for action to address climate change and environmental degradation in the marine sector. The marine industry can lessen its carbon footprint, decrease pollution, and improve ecosystem health if it shifts to various alternative fuels, renewable energy sources, and technologies powered by artificial intelligence. At the end of this work, an appeal is made to policymakers, industry stakeholders, and technology providers, urging them to prioritize investments in artificial intelligence research and development and to create collaboration to speed up the transition to a marine sector that is more sustainable and resilient.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Port Operation Efficiency

“…In the intricate and ever-changing field of maritime operations, which includes port operation and management, ship and vessel traffic management, logistics, shipbuilding, and security, the demand for creative solutions to improve efficiency and gain a competitive edge is at its peak [1][2][3][4]. Due to its ability to process large amounts of data, predict patterns, and automate decision-making processes, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising port operations [5][6][7].…”
