The aim of this session is to bring different actors together from several sectors (business, NGOs, ports..) and demonstrate how different players have diverse perspectives on greening the industry. This goal does not only involve reducing emissions but also developing solutions to other issues that already pose a big challenge to the sector such as recycling and reusing, treating marine waste or reducing any possible spills to the minimum. These Indeed, perceptions of what is green are in fact potentially different between different operators.

There is no one size fits all solution and greening the maritime industry involves a series of actions to reduce its environmental impact in several areas that must complement emissions reductions. The scope would be to bring about an awareness of the different technologies and operational practices the industry can adopt to become more environment friendly in the wide sense.
