- Abstract
This research explores the role of technological innovation, regulation, public awareness, and financial support in enhancing environmental management in the shipping sector. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach, this study primarily utilizes a literature review to evaluate the effectiveness of green technology and policies. The data was taken from reports by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), scientific articles, and government policy documents. Data triangulation ensures validity by comparing various sources, while content and thematic analysis identify patterns and themes. Striking examples include wind-assisted propulsion technology, such as rotor sails, which can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10 percent and decrease CO2 emissions by 20–25 percent. Regulatory measures such as the IMO Global Sulfur Limit have significantly reduced sulfur emissions and improved air quality. Public awareness and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are crucial in promoting environmentally friendly technologies, as seen in companies like Norsepower. Financial mechanisms, including green bonds, support the transition to sustainable practices. This study emphasizes that technological innovation, regulation, public awareness, and financial support collectively drive significant improvements in environmental management in the shipping industry.
