Abstract

When we talk about green maritime logistics, we mean the fulfillment of both the secure environmental performance of the supply chain in the maritime logistics and transportation sector, as well as the observance of traditional rules in the field of economics. In the present study, the focus of environmental attention is on the emission of pollution from shipping and maritime. Achieving such a goal depends on creating many, many lasting balances. Win-win solutions are usually sought in this direction; but such solutions are probably more difficult to implement than they seem at first glance. Here we briefly address the challenges facing green marine logistics and provide examples of greenhouse gas and non-greenhouse gas emissions. Slowing down the ship depends on its implementation at the strategic level (design). That is, it will have an impact on safety by reducing the ship's power supply facilities; this is because the reduction contradicts the minimum reliable power required by the ship in adverse weather conditions. The emission of slower ship pollution is much lower than the emission of faster ship contamination. If we want to reduce fuel costs (and prevent emissions) by slowing down, we can do so in two simple steps.
