The Role of Shipbuilding in Maritime Decarbonisation (Impacts of Technology Developments and Policy Measures)

To evaluate how shipbuilding can drive maritime decarbonisation by analysing capacity for low/zero-emission vessels, uptake of alternative fuels, and integration of digital and energy-saving technologies, while mapping policy and financial frameworks that enable or hinder progress. The report underlines the need for coordinated action among shipbuilders, shipowners, policymakers, and financiers, stressing innovation, retrofitting, and infrastructure development as key levers to secure a competitive and resilient pathway to net-zero shipping by 2050.
