Seventy-one percent of the surface of our “blue planet” is covered by oceans which is also reflected in the fact that 80% of goods are moved via sea transportation within the global supply chain [1]. Ships also account for around 3% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions [2] , contributing to the acceleration of climate change. This in turn leads to melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and threatened biodiversity.
