“…The Government of Canada is also dedicated to taking real steps to accomplish its climate goals and provide Canadians with an efficient and ecologically friendly shipping system. Therefore, Canada's government has formulated the Canadian Green Shipping Corridors Framework and Canada's participation in the Zero-Emission Shipping Mission [69]. Both projects aim to assist all parties interested in developing a green shipping corridor by: (i) establishing a common Canadian vision to ensure that green shipping corridors are consistently implemented; and (ii) empowering all parties to collaborate to eliminate emissions and address the climate crisis.…”

“…Both projects aim to assist all parties interested in developing a green shipping corridor by: (i) establishing a common Canadian vision to ensure that green shipping corridors are consistently implemented; and (ii) empowering all parties to collaborate to eliminate emissions and address the climate crisis. In addition, the government's statement is that by being at the vanguard of decreasing marine emissions, the country will create new opportunities for Canadian clean tech and clean fuel entrepreneurs, as well as contribute to Canada's economic development and prosperity [68][69][70][71][72].…”

“…The findings show that countries with the smallest fleets have the most spectacular eco-efficient performance, while countries that dominate the industry appear to invest less in adopting methods and reducing the environmental imprint of their shipping activities. Particularly impressive is the growth of the Canadian and Chinese shipping sectors [68,69]. Both governments make every effort to develop a carbon-neutral marine industry by enacting relevant rules and providing programs to shipowners.…”

The compatibility of shipping with environmental protection is a subject that the international community is becoming increasingly concerned about, considering the threat of climate change. The current study aims to assess the worldwide shipping sector’s eco-efficiency performance for the first time using the Dynamic Slack-Based assess non-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis methodology, while the visualization of the results has been made with the geographic information system of ArcGIS. The findings show that the most vibrant shipping sectors in the world, such as the Marshall Islands, present the lowest eco-efficiency levels due to the nations’ roles as tax havens for shipowners. Furthermore, traditional maritime economies such as the Chinese one show a great growth in the eco-efficiency score due to the strategies of the shipping companies that are headquartered in the region to invest and adopt Environmental, Social, and Governance principles, which help them to achieve high scores in eco-efficiency. Finally, nations with small fleets have the greatest eco-efficiency score, as local governments have engaged in sustainable activities and initiatives over the previous four to five years to enable their marine industry to thrive and dominate the market.
