“…Newell et al and Bola [2,11] both attend to this issue from different perspectives, highlighting a strong demand-pull for innovation towards decarbonised propulsion systems. However, as we saw in Gilbert et al [7] and Rehmatulla et al [13], without up-front financial provision to drive innovation, or demonstrate the viability of a disruptive technology, progress will likely remain slow.…”

a b s t r a c tThe shipping industry faces an uncertain future, as the climate change challenges faced by all sectors become increasingly urgent and apparent. If a quantitative interpretation of the goals laid out in the Paris Agreement is applied, shipping, along with all sectors combusting fossil fuel, faces substantial challenges in order to successfully decarbonise over the coming decades. Targeted at addressing gaps in knowledge and understanding across technical, operational and demand-side changes, this collection of articles presents some of the latest analysis to consider the opportunities available, and barriers to be overcome, to enable shipping's low carbon transition and the sustainability of global trade.

“…A group of researchers in Fiji [13][14][15] are suggesting the use of soft sails or hybrid vessels for sustainable and low carbon sea transport in Fiji and the Pacific region. Nuttal et al [15] suggest that the best option for sustainable sea transport in the Pacific is hybrid vessels which use both wind and solar or wind/solar/diesel for operation.…”

“…However, according to GLOMEEP [18], Flettner rotor is not a mature technology and has a high cost. Bola [14] mentions that one of the barriers in conducting maritime transport research in the region is the non-availability of fuel consumption data.…”
