Today, 90% of the world’s goods are transported by sea. Though this mode of transportation produces 3% of total greenhouse gas emissions currently, if no improvement is made emission rates could reach 17% by 2050 and have disastrous consequences on marine biodiversity and global warming. This is only one of the problems related to maritime transportation.

As the first voluntary environmental initiative for the European maritime industry, Green Marine Europe aims to guide this sector through a green transition by encouraging the adoption of more sustainable shipping practices.
