Description
Green Logistics simply denotes the art of Moving Goods with Minimal Environmental Impact. Green Shipping deals with Eco-friendly handling, storing and movement of cargo throughout the logistics chain, with a focus on sustainability in Operations. In the current world, sustainability in operations is the only way for survival. Financial institution's tough ESG performance measurement criterias and strict IMO regulatory compliance are to be met at the same time, making it difficult for shipping industry to see profits after fulfilling all the requirements. But, if we know what needs to be done, it gets easier. This course is a basic course for all stakeholders and financial institutions to understand what Green Maritime is all about.
The Green Eco System in Shipping consists of six stakeholders:
1. Shippers or the Customers who ship their Cargo
2. Shipping Lines / Ship Owners who operate the ships
3. Port Authorities who monitor the port operations
4. Companies that operate the Port terminals
5. International and Local Regulatory Bodies
6. Third Parties like Ship Builders, Research firms, Tech Firms, International trade routes and Canals, and ship breaking / recycling eco-system at the End of ship's Life
We will be discussing each of these topics on how they impact the environment and what should be done to reduce their impact, for sustainable development.
