- Abstract
This research aims to examine the role of education and social campaigns in raising awareness about eco-friendly shipping. As the volume of global shipping increases, negative impacts on the marine environment, such as water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, are increasingly becoming a major concern. This literature review explores how education, both formal and non-formal, and social campaigns can contribute to improving public understanding and awareness of sustainable shipping practices. Findings from various studies show that the integration of eco-friendly shipping materials in maritime education curricula can promote behavior change among seafarers and the general public. In addition, effective social campaigns, such as the use of social media, public seminars, and collaboration with non-governmental organizations, have been shown to expand the reach of information and positively influence public opinion. Thus, a combination of education and social campaigns was identified as an effective strategy to build awareness and promote greener shipping practices. This study suggests the need for a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to ensure that messages regarding sustainable shipping can be widely and effectively delivered to various stakeholders.
