How Can We Use Data To Help Decarbonise Ports?

Global shipping makes up about 2-3% of global carbon emissions. Although that might not sound like a lot, it is unfortunately 2-3% of quite an alarmingly high number. As I mentioned in my previous article (which you can read here), big data can and should be used to help propel the decarbonisation process of the maritime industry towards its ambitious climate targets.

Of course, the ships themselves are not the only polluting aspect of shipping. While we look to improve trade efficiency out on the water, it is also important to consider the drier aspects of global shipping (literally). So, let's dive in and talk about some of the ways that data can be used in the decarbonisation of ports!
