accelerate the transition to a greener shipping industry, policies should be implemented to reinforce research and innovation. One effective strategy is to establish research grants and incentives to encourage private and public sector collaboration in accelerating sustainable shipping solutions. Governments can allocate resources to create research centers and institutes focused on maritime technology and environmental sustainability. Accelerating demonstrations of these technologies, such as pilot projects and real-world testing can ensure that practical implementation will drive the shipping industry towards its emission reduction goals. Reallocating subsidies from the fossil fuel industry to support clean energy initiatives can help fund these policies
