Introduction to Green Shipping Practices

Shipping refers to the business of transporting goods. Global economic development is supported by the commercial shipping industry which facilitates the completion of trade transactions. Global trade volume has significantly grown with rapid increases in global sourcing activities and dispersed production sites. On the other hand, public concerns about environmental issues such as air pollution and resource depletion caused by shipping activities have been growing rapidly with the globalization of business activities.
