Why Sustainable Marine?

The tide is turning.

Governments, companies, and innovators are racing to transform marine transport into a driver of clean growth, and the momentum is accelerating.

1

Global Pledges Back the Transition

At COP29, the UN announced a new climate finance goal of $300 billion annually by 2035, funding previous pledges to decarbonize sectors like shipping and port logistics.

2

The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act is Driving Change

With over $3 billion allocated to the Clean Ports Program, plus investments in zero-emission port equipment, marine sanctuaries, and coastal habitat restoration.

3

Demand for Clean Tech is Surging

Ports levy systems, commercial fleets, and shipbuilders are actively adopting electric propulsion, hydrogen, ammonia, and sustainable materials.
