We are currently seeing how new marine fuels are being introduced, such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, batteries, etc., for the propulsion of the world fleet with the aim of complying with the increasing IMO emissions regulations. The frenetic effort made by shipping companies to decarbonize maritime transport must be followed by an unstoppable adaptation of ports from the historical supply of only fuel and diesel to covering the demands of new fuels, ensuring their renewable origin; onshore power supply (OPS); or even the storage of captured CO2. This article compiles the current environmental regulations applied to maritime transport to provide an analysis of the current situation and a link between vessels’ requirements to comply with such regulations and port environmental infrastructure. This work demonstrates that technological development is growing faster onboard vessels than at ports. It is demonstrated that except for the case of LNG, the theoretical shipping fuel world demand of each type of alternative fuel cannot be absorbed by current world production, where we found big gaps between supply and demand of up to 96.9%. This work concludes that to speed up this process, ports will need European aid as well as private investment. It is proposed that for the next steps, the port system needs to provide the required infrastructure to vessels on time, which inevitably means improvements in competitiveness and governance to promote the blue economy and the concept of smart ports, attracting main international shipping lines with a complete decarbonization hub on their routes by taking advantage of the geostrategic role of the Iberian ports. At the same time, the port governance model must be more flexible in the decision-making process, anticipating changes in maritime regulations with the challenge of coordinating public and private interests, serving as a link, once again, between ship and society.

“…Implementing and maintaining technology requires skilled personnel who can operate and manage the technology effectively. Building and maintaining the necessary technical skills and knowledge among staff members can be a challenge, particularly in regions or sectors where there is a shortage of trained personnel (Chuah et al, 2023). Continuous training and capacity-building efforts are essential to ensure that users can leverage the full potential of the technology.…”

The use of technology and international law in marine policy is becoming increasingly vital as we seek to address the challenges facing our oceans. Technology has revolutionized our ability to monitor, understand, and manage marine ecosystems, providing valuable tools for data collection, analysis, and decision-making. International law, ocean governance ensuring marine environment represented by the frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), plays a crucial role in governing the use of technology and establishing guidelines for the sustainable management of marine resources. This paper explores the intersection of technology and international law in marine policy, highlighting the transformative impact of technology on our understanding of the oceans and the legal frameworks that shape our approach to marine conservation. It examines the benefits of technology in enabling evidence-based decision-making and fostering international collaboration, while also addressing the legal and regulatory complexities that arise. The paper emphasizes the need for ongoing dialogue and the development of international legal frameworks to adapt to emerging technologies and discourse ethical considerations, and by harnessing the power of technology and international law, we can work towards effective marine policies that ensure the conservation and sustainable use of our oceans for future generations.

“…US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and United Nations Environment Program (USEP) have categorized Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are defined priority pollutants due to their high toxicity [ 1 , 2 ]. As these chemicals are likely to have both natural and artificial origins associated with the incomplete combustion of organic materials [ 3 ] and the production of non-combusted [ 4 ] and petrogenic emissions [ 5 ], resultantly are widespread in the terrestrial [ 6 ], marine [ 7 ] and atmospheric environments [ 8 , 9 ]. They enter into the ecosystem through natural processes such as volcanic eruption, forest burning, as well as through oil exploration and production processes, intentional burning of biomass [ 10 ] and fossil fuels [ 11 ], and incomplete combustion of other organic materials such as coal [ 5 , 12 ].…”
