New initiatives in the maritime sector

In such a changing universe, the challenges are becoming more complex, not only at the economic or social level but also at the environmental level. 

Over the years, the impact of the industrial revolution on the environment has left an almost indelible mark that now shows the consequences of a universe that spoke silently. 

A few years ago, given the environmental collapse, many sectors began to look for ways to reverse and seek balance in the environment, one of them being the maritime and aeronautical sectors. 

In this sense, industry leaders worldwide are looking for ways to develop new forms and methods of combustion that are friendly to the ecosystem. The Getting to Zero coalition is one of the calls to action in the maritime sector that seeks to develop the sustainable deployment of ocean-going vessels, predicted for the year 2030. 

Development of new initiatives

To carry out these actions, it will be necessary to measure the impact on the environment. That is why one of the initiatives forecast for January 2023 will be to measure the Energy Efficiency Index (EEXI) and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (IIC). 

This process goes hand in hand with Smart Freight Centre and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), which apply their efforts in the logistics of carbon measurement in the sector working together with other organizations worldwide where Maersk, CMA, and CGM stand out. 

With this, it seeks to account for carbon emissions within the supply chain, i.e., supplier-customer to generate conscious logistics. The guide is expected to be published by the end of this year and its next launch during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, in 2023. 

Other green mechanisms… 

Other mechanisms are also part of taking the first steps to seek environmental balance, which is why, thanks to the development of software, the elimination of paper is very close. 

Part of it is the SUITE of GP Nauticals since, besides optimizing processes and times, it eliminates to a great extent the amount of paper that the collection invoices require. 

This software can be integrated according to the needs of each client and are specialized for the maritime and aeronautical sectors.
